    I bought my first item for my get home bag the other day.

    Was surprised to see that Walmart carries these. $5.24 - I can afford that!

    I've been picking up small items as I have some cash in my pocket.

    Wind proof matches, emergency blanket, cheap headlamp... the usual stuff.

    Then while watching a video, I saw a guy mention a small pry bar, and I thought that made some sense, so I started looking for something not too pricey.
    I found this Crescent molding remover/pry bar on sale on Amazon for $9.50 and ordered it. I had looked at cheaper ones, but they all had lousy reviews.
    Home Depot had it for the same price, but it can no longer be ordered - you'd have to check your local store to see if it's available.
    Walmart has one (their brand) for about $5.00 and I may have grabbed it if I had seen it first, but the overall quality/finish is poor in comparison to the Crescent bar.

    It's small and light enough that adding it to a pack shouldn't get in the way. Larger bars would provide more leverage for prying, but I can still think of many other uses for it. Makes for a nice little hammer for one thing.

    It will slip right through a MOLLE attachment loop on my backpack, so I can carry it without taking up any space inside the pack.

    That will also work fine for breaking winders.

    It's actually designed to be for pulling nails that are below the surface of the wood. Commonly called a Cat's Claw.

    This one might have been a better choice for what you're trying to do.

    I grabbed this image the other day for another forum. We keep these in our cars j.i.c. here in SEPA. This could mean the difference between a cold, snowy, miserable night stuck in a ditch and possible hypothermia. Check your fav big box online retailer for options.

    I have a good bit of stuff accumulated now for my get home bag.
    The most recent item was this Stanley Adventure Camping Cookware set.
    It's $14.97 on the shelf at Walmart. I was going to pick it up when I use my holiday bonus associate discount, but then I noticed it was $11.70 on Walmart.com.
    https://www.walmart.com/ip/Stanley-A...6?athbdg=L1100
    I added a bag of dog food to my order to get over $35 for free shipping and got me a nice cooking cup for a great deal.

    These seem to be well regarded by people who do outdoors stuff, so I figured I'd get one.

    $10.10 on Amazon right now!

    I have that set. I'll take it sometimes when the daughter goes with me on a trip. It works pretty well.
