In
an emergency survival situation, improvisation and creativity could
mean the difference between life and death. Matt Redhawk has created a
list of items that are surprisingly useful in emergency situations.
Dental Floss
Owing to its strength and sturdiness, dental floss can be used to patch up torn clothing, improvise a reasonable fishing line, hang food items items from tress (to keep away from animals) and much more.

Garbage Bags
A garbage bag can make an excellent windbreaker or raincoat. It weights next to nothing and can be carried in a jacket pocket.

Shoestraps
Shoes and boot straps have many uses. What if you don’t have any matches or lighter - how’d you start a fire? You can start a fire using a shoe strap through “the bow and drill” technique. They can also be used to tie things up or hang food items from trees.

Bottles
Thanks to people who litter, it’s not really hard to find bottles anywhere. While you can stay without food for some time, water is indispensable to your survival. Bottles will help you store it.

Toilet Paper
Another underrated household item that could prove useful in a survival situation is toilet paper. Apart from its obvious use, toilet paper can serve as a wick for an oil lamp, it can dress wounds, start fires, and much more.

While
disasters are imminent, emergency preparedness is a choice. It all
starts with survival kits such as the ones devised by Matt Redhawk and
My Patriot Supply. Don’t be caught off-guard; prepare ahead of time.
