It can be argued that one of the most crucial characteristics a survivalist can have is creativity. Believe it or not, creativity can save you and the lives of those around you when in a dire situation. Whether you're facing a SHTF event or are lost in the wilderness with few supplies, you can channel that creativity to turn basic items into useful (and often life-saving) tools.

You can become more familiar with the versatility of items you might have in your everyday carry by scouring Youtube for different tutorials. Rope, for example, is a common item you'll have with you when in the outdoors. However, you might lose it along the way, need more of it or even forget to bring it with you.
