Zip ties are useful little tools that can be used in any situation. Since 1958, we have been using them for countless tasks from securing things in place to organizing and repairing. Here are 15 handy survival uses for zip ties that you may not have thought of:

1. Organize small items – You can use zip ties to organize small items in your bug out bag such as sticks, cordage, pens or markers, utensils, etc.

2. Save space – Roll up your clothes and blankets as tightly as you can and secure them with a zip tie to save space in your pack.

3. Bag handles – Bags are much easier to carry if they have a handle attached to them but what if the handle breaks off? Take a long zip tie, place it through a loop on your bag, and then cinch it to the length you want it.

4. Attach gear to your bag – If you want a quick access to your flashlight, knife or some other tool that has a holster, use a zip tie to attach the holster to your bag so you can get your tool without having to dig through all your things.

5. Makeshift shoe laces – Zip ties can be used to secure your shoes if anything ever happens to your shoelaces.

6. Extra traction on snow – If you are walking on icy or snowy terrain, you can attach two or three zip ties around each of your boots so they have a better grip on the ice, giving you more stability.

7. Securing makeshift trouser gaiters – If you are out in a marshland, you will want to keep your trousers dry and stop them from flapping around and potentially getting snagged on a branch. Wrap up the trouser leg near the bottom and hold it in place with a zip tie.

8. Trail markers – When hiking in an unfamiliar environment, tie or hang a zip tie around a branch to mark your trail.

9. Shelter Making – If you have no cordage, you can use your long zip ties to tie your shelter together.

10. Hanging things – If you’re on your shelter and need to hang things from the roof or a tree branch, it’s not always necessary to use paracord because zip ties will work just fine.

11. Snares – Rather than using ropes to build snares, you can use zip ties because they are naturally more secure.

12. Repair gear – Zip ties are great for simple repairs like a broken strap on a backpack or a large tear on your tent.

13. Restraining device – In certain situations, you may need to restrain individuals and zip ties are ideal to use. The advantage to using zip ties is that very few people know how to escape them.

14. Splints – You can use zip ties, together with anything long, strong and straight you have at your disposal, to splint a broken arm or leg. Place the splints either side of the injured part, wrap around the zip ties at each end then cinch down tight to secure.

15. Hold bandages in place – When you have a wound or a cut that needs to be bandaged, you can easily secure the bandages with a couple of medium sized zip ties.

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:

According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.

It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.

Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!

As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?

But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!

The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.

This gives you real water security!

😳 What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises…

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:

An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.

Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.
