$10 x 12 Survival Kit Suggestion

Hey guys. I was watching a youtube video made by Dave Canterbury (of the Pathfinder Survival School, and co-host of Dual Survival), in which he was going over some of the items that he carries in his kit. Now one of these items was a small set of vice grip pliers, but he has removed the standard adjustment bolt from them and replaced it with an eye bolt. This allows him to use a piece of cordage as a lanyard to prevent loss of the pliers during use, but also allows him to lock the pliers onto something and then use that eye bolt and a piece of cordage to hang thing off of.

I was immediately reminded of the $10 x 12 Survival Kit, which already contains a small set of vice grip pliers, and thought that it would be an easy adaptation to include. It's not an earth shaking make or break idea or anything, but just one of those easy clever why-didn't-I-think-of-that ideas that might prove handy to have. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

I agree with sharpie! I just need to get the eye bolt though. That could come in handy! Do you find this valuable?
