The key to survival in any situation is to use the tools around you to their optimal potential. One oft overlooked survival item that everyone has is a leather belt.

In a survival situation, that old, worn, faded leather belt actually has many more uses than just holding up your pants.

Whether to strap things together, as a way carry a mini survival kit, obviously to serve as a platform for your firearm, as a carrier for a bundle of firewood, even as a sling in a pinch, the oft forgotten leather belt is a highly functional survival tool.

I even used a leather belt once to secure a tow-rope in order to tow a boat whose engine has died.

The video on the next page gives at least 25 different ways to put your amazing leather belt to good use in a survival situation.
