Sheeit, that's intense. This is why you should always go innawoods with at least one other person–if shit happens one guy can bail the other out.

If weight/space is an issue, I raise you:
1. a pair of slip-joint pliers with a jaw like pic related (Channellocks also makes them at a more friendly price). Very versatile little tool.
2. a quality flat head screwdriver with a solid, beefy handle - good for prying, scraping, possibly hammering, and even driving screws.
3. a screwdriver with interchangeable bits and a little baggy with 3 or 4 common bits (Phillips, Torx, maybe square/Robertson)

A pair of adjustable Vice Grips would work better imo, as you can lock them. Multitools aren't ideal for repair work but they're also a very nice option if space is at a premium, either a Leatherman of your choice or the Victorinox Swisschamp if you're providing your own pliers.

The slip-joint pliers allow you to open the jaws super wide. A pair of Knipex Cobras that is only 7.25" long will get around a 1.5" pipe or a slightly under 1.5" bolt. Also, the jaw on them can grab bolts and nuts securely without marring them (much like an adjustable wrench.)
I'd probably bring both, but if I could only pack one it would be the slip-joints because I think they're more versatile.

We have given 8 marshal plans to africa because not doing so would have meant that money going to the people who produced the wealth in the first place, white americans and europeans.

folding shovels in general are great, i have an old dutch army shovel that does the job of a hatchet quite well, combined with a general purpose knife for batoning it makes for a great tool

Anybody here into lightweight/ultra-lightweight backpacking? My base weight is 9.65 lbs. Total 3-4 day loadout is 13.7 lbs, but that doesn't include my gun.
