Being able to pick a lock is one of those survival skills that you likely will never have to use – but will miss a lot if you find yourself in a situation where picking a lock is your access to safety, security, food, water, shelter or supplies and materials.
Realistically, unless you are a locksmith, there is really not much of a need for this skill.
You only need it when you have to gain access to another room, building or property, and all conventional methods have fallen flat.
In that case, though, understanding how a lock works and how to pick it could literally be a life saver – yours or someone you love or care about.
In a survival situation, any and all tools and skills have to be applied to make sure you get out in one piece.
