Velcro ties?

5 bucks for a decently big roll. Always useful.

Be careful with that, just a jittery movement or a specular reflection and you may also damage someone's retina with that.

I carry around a few tampons, as a cis man.
Part of my "be prepared" strategy cause you never know what life throws at you.
On one hand, tampons are perfect kindling for starting a fire in an emergency - a wad of cotton in a water-proof hull.
But in reality, it was useful a few times already, to help a female friend out.
Or pull one apart to improvise ear plugs when a concert turns out to be way too loud.

I've carried a couple of tampons and pads in my car for years, just because sometimes I can save the day for someone. I never thought about using them for earplugs though, that's a good one.

Apparently what I was talking about is called twist ties but same applies for velcro ties too.

A small marlin spike. It's surprising how often I want to untie knots in all kinds of things. A marlin spike makes that easy.

Earplugs. They can obviously be used for protection from overly loud environments. They're also great for shutting out voices, music, or other noise when you're trying to read or focus on a task. I like the Loop Switch 2 plugs because they're small, versatile, and effective.

Ultralight folding bag. I carry a 19 liter bag (Nanobag Sling) with shoulder-length handles that folds down to about the size of my thumb. Any time I need to carry more things than will easily fit in my hands, I pull out the bag. It also lets me support awkward or heavy items using my shoulders and back instead of my hands and arms.

Spark plug, cause you never know when you need to break a mfer's window.

Guitar picks, because I guitar. At least one in each rooms.

Be warned: if it gets below freezing or just changes temps wildly it'll crack

So far...

They just tend to vanish.

no you're thinking of a scalper, a scapula is a tool used for flipping food in a pan

They spawn portal to the abyss if you dropped them.

Jam the bottom of the lighter flat against the bottom of the bottle cap. With your other hand grab the neck of the bottle as high as you can. Your hand should be pushing the lighter up against the cap hard enough that you don't need to hold the lighter with your other hand. Squeeze the neck of the bottle to flex those finger muscles, and push down on the lighter like you would any other bottle opener. Enjoy your beverage!

It started growing mushrooms.

And when he tried to burn it it was too moist and wouldn't light on fire IIRC

Replacing the ease of access menu EXE with a command prompt somehow still allows you to get an administrator CMD window on the lock screen, even in 2026
