When it comes to survival, there are a number of skills you should be comfortable with. Everything from being able to start a fire to filter clean drinking water to self-defense is important. However, there’s another crucial survival skill that’s often forgotten about: lock picking.

For example, you may need to get into a vehicle or store that has food and other essentials during a disaster. Or one of your loved ones may have a medical emergency that needs immediate attention.
