The Lil Trucker: The Multitool That Helps You Survive The Zombie Apocalypse

Logan

Not exactly something that can be used for actual airsoft and milsim events, but for many airsofters who are also survivalists and have bug-out bags ready to go in their cars or in their closets, this tool will be something that they will love to have in their kit list. The Lil Trucker is a handy multitool that not only keeps you well-equipped on the road for any eventuality, you can use it even against zombies in a post-apocalypse world.

A Kickstarter Project, The Lil Trucker raised US$123,310 over a modest funding goal of US$25,000.00. The first impression you get is that the name of the multitool would mean it’s something meant for truckers, but it’s a very capable tool that any adult would need to survive in a harsh environment. Whether you're a firefighter out to save someone trapped in a burning house, or in the outdoors setting up camp with friends or family, or doing some zombie hunting just like those from the Walking Dead, The Lil Trucker, will be an indispensable tool.

This oversized bottle opener has a glass breaker, folding saw, can opener, hatchet blade, strap cutter, hex wrench, spanner nail puller, gas valve wrench, hammer, hook, wire twist, wedge, and pry. The only thing that does not have is a shotgun, which is too bad, but that won't fit in a such a small package. The Lil Trucker is made of carbon steel and the blade is replaceable.

Apart from that, The Lil Trucker, also has a companion tool, or what Innovations Factory, the group behind The Lil Trucker, the "Survival Companion". This has a flint, magnesium tinder, whistle, and sharpener.

Apart from being the multitool that does more than what it looks like, it's also a weapon. You can hack your way through a wall of zombies and defend yourself against humans who are up to no good.  In your bag of survival stuff, The Lil Trucker would be the most valuable of all. A gun, a crossbow, or machete can only do much and are mainly good for killing or hacking, the Lil Trucker can help you build a fort and keep you warm at night.

The pricing for The Lil Trucker is US$69, but for additional accessories, you can pay up to US$99, which will include the sheath and survival accessories. These are pricing based on the Kickstarter campaign which already ended so expect to pay more when it becomes available for retail. But it will be a small price to pay when we speak about survival.
