I've been thinking about this thread for some time, and while the earthquake scenario is probably not too valid for Florida, there are quite a few that might require breaching some form of man made barrier.... chain link fence, or chained gates come to mind. I have included a small piece of hacksaw blade in my on person kit, but haven't really tried to cut a chain link fence with my Victorinox multi tool. In doing a little research I came across a WWII item from the British MI 9 (tasked with producing escape/evasion equipment) called oddly enough "escape tool". It consists of a regular blade, 3 hacksaw blades, a lock breaking blade, and a heavy duty wire cutter. Does anyone know if a similar tool is still available?... regards Les
