Before anyone gets the wrong idea I am one of those peoples who’s mantra is “I would rather have it and not need it than the other way around”.

In that vein I daily a backpack that has thousands of dollars in tools, electronics and survival stuff in it at all times. I’m talking I could survive a complete collapse of society for quite some time with what I keep in that bag every day kinda deal.

The one thing that concerns me is the bag getting grabbed one day. I could replace everything in there but I would prefer to avoid spending all that money and time setting it all up again. I keep it with me as much as I reasonably can, but obviously I can’t take it with me into places like concerts or events. During those times I have it stashed in a hidden compartment in my trunk so it’s unlikely it would get taken in a smash and grab, but I would feel much better if I was able to keep track of the bags location at all times.

It seems like the small gps tracker market is basically small tags like the tile or air tag and then it immediately jumps to like thousands of dollars and subscriptions.

I am aware that this mythical tracker might not exist at all, but if anyone would know of one it’s you nerds (I call yall nerds lovingly).

    Yeah they shoot crossing beams of “plasma”. The waterproof ones I’ve been using don’t have the most accessible beams so you need to use a dry leaf or thin twig to get it between the beams to light it and then use THAT to light the fires most of the time. Definitely not the end all be all and they take some getting used to, but I like them and find them decently reliable. I think I will still toss a regular bic lighter or something in the bag as a secondary backup in case it bricks.

    I don’t know if it’s the case with all heavy machinery globally but most of the machines in the US have universal keys and you can buy sets with all of them on a loop for not that much. I ordered a ~40 pack of “all” heavy machinery universal keys for like 25 bucks and then I just cut it down to the 20 or so that I actually would likely run into in the area I live. I pretty much just tossed the keys for ones that aren’t really sold over here and kept the ones that I know I have seen in my state multiple times.
