Large Safety Pin

Some great uses and reasons to have  Safety Pins in your First Aid Kit or Bug Out Bag   Repairing Clothing and Gear   Often when we think of uses for safety pins, the idea of temporarily repair garments comes to mind and with good reason. Safety pins are tools of the trade for tailors and seamstresses. Quilt makers use them to hold layers of batting and fabrics together. Safety pins, it seems, were designed to hold clothing and fabrics together.   In the wilderness, we can likewise use safety pins in much the same way. We can temporarily repair ripped or damaged clothing and gear using safety pins. Limb rip your backpack? Hold it together with a safety pin. Lose a clasp on a strap? A safety pin will due until you can get to the store. Lost a zipper pull? A safety pin makes a good substitute. The uses for safety pins are practically limitless.   Fishing for Dinner   Survival kits often include a small amount of fishing tackle including monofilament line, lead sinkers, and barbed hooks that can be used to fish for food during survival situations. Small, easily caught panfish such as bream or bluegill can be a wonderful source of nourishment and can really boost morale when surviving near a water source.   Even if you don’t have sufficient fishing tackle, you can fashion some primitive gear using the inner strands of 550 paracord and a safety pin for a hook. It may not fool the trophy bass or walleye, but it certainly can help put an indiscriminate panfish on the skewer and some much needed calories in your stomach.   Applying First Aid   Unfortunately, many people thrust into wilderness survival scenarios must make do under less than ideal circumstances. Perhaps the event that landed them in a survival situation, such as a wrecked mountain bike or snowmobile, left them in an injured state. Or maybe in the rush to find the trail that must be just around the next bend, their footing is lost and they take a tumble down the side of a steep hill. Whatever the  cause, an injury has been incurred and survival has just been made that much more difficult.   A safety pin has a number of uses in first aid. It can be used to immobilize an arm by pinning the cuff of a long sleeve shirt to its chest to fashion a makeshift arm sling. Safety pins can be used to secure a bandana over a wounded and bleeding arm or leg. They can even be used to help keep a severe wound closed in place of stitches in dire circumstances and also be used to drain a blister. And also removed more than one splinter in the wilderness using a trusty safety pin.
