You may be able to afford to buy an array of specialised tools for every possible situation, but there will come a time when you will need to pack light. Thankfully, a fair amount of creativity, thought, and wise investments can turn some of the simplest everyday products can into extremely useful multi-purpose tools that can not only save precious time, but can also be used to save lives! Here’s a nifty selection of everyday products that you could arm yourself to the teeth with.
1. Bandanna
You’re not Rambo. And will probably never be. But you can wear a badass bandanna too! Seriously though, aside from making you look like a totally un-Rambo-like hippie, this humble piece of fabric can be used as a towel, blindfold, lens cleaner, ninja mask, air filter, eye mask, hair tie, scarf, water-soaked cooling device, a sling for a sprained or broken arm, a gag, Molotov cocktail fuse, a murder weapon and even a thong!
2. Duct Tape
Known for being able to secure anything from benches to bombs, you’d be a fool to leave out this wonder tool. Personally, duct tape has given me temporary yet extremely effective solutions to patching leaks, securing parts in countless DIY projects, and executing painful pranks involving hair removal. Keep a roll or two at home, in your car and at work at all times.

3. Wet Wipes & Hand Sanitisers
If you were a germ or bacteria, the encounter with these hygiene products would be like napalm, hellfire missiles and 50mm rounds raining down onto your rustic tropical village. If you don’t do it already, it would be good to regularly sanitise door knobs, the inside and outside of your car, electronic devices (common sense applied), table tops, public taps and toilet seats, and even your own hands before using them; basically anything that may harbour germs, bacteria, dirt, oil, and all sorts of icky stuff.
You should clean your hands frequently, especially if you are a serial killer.
4. Contraceptives
Sex and romance, like the weather, can be very unpredictable; you’ll never know when it would rain cats in heat and dogs in style. Like an umbrella, contraceptives close should always be kept within convenient reach. In this case, condoms would be a great start, but you can go the extra mile by getting contraceptives. Because even if you didn’t have your fun in a remote location where contraceptives are hard to come by, you’d want to avoid the hassle and potential embarrassment of scrambling to get some when you need it them most. Whatever you do, don’t ever overestimate your ability to resist sexual temptation.
5. Common Sense
More often than not, the term ‘common sense’ is an oxymoron. And though we sometimes neglect this vital mental ability out of stress or carelessness, many of us often tend to display a surprising lack of which. And while this point mainly serves as a personal note to myself, please remember to apply common sense to everything that you do for it can save you a great deal of grief.
Don’t be jealous! I know I am…
