Knives and multi tools
RKT. I will also go a little off label here. Opinel and mora are both European brands, but are excellent products at very modest prices. Same.thing with condor but theyre from elsavador. You can easily dress and skin an entire deer with only a $15 mora companion if you know how.
Get whatever 9mm glock fits your hand and carry method best, rugers are also very good. I'm still running XS big dot night sights, but optics are nice. Dont get a 5.7, others are correct about it being a gimmick. Holsters are so personal any recommendation beyond brand is basically meaningless. I like leather (controversial opinion in current year) from DeSantis or Gould and Goodrich. Get a PSA ar15. If it doesn't shoot well take off the barrel and flash hider, and then put them back on to the proper torque spec. Get a 1-4 or 1-6 scope from Athlon, vortex, or swamp fox with an aero precision one piece mount. Put a streamlight flashlight and a sling on the rifle. Sling is also really personal. If you want sporting guns or a precision rifle or something DM me, that's its own thing and it depends so much on what specifically you're building.
Get vintage hand tools from the 1960s or before (especially things like shovels, picks, and axes), unless you can afford kline/knipex/snap-on or similar. Midrange cirrent production tools are a scam, but conversly harbor freight shit is surprisingly good for the money. For power tools get the 20v brushless stuff from either Dewalt or Milwaukee. Face book marketplace and Craig's list is your friend for tools. Also the pawn shop.
A forever vehicle is hard to recommend knowing nothing about how you'll land, but a 2000s Chevy Blazer 4x4 would probably be an excellent "right now" vehicle. They are modestly priced, incredibly reliable, very easy to work on, will off road, pull a trailer, seat 4 adults comfortably, and isn't so large it's annoying to drive in town. If you need a pickup pre 2013 Ford ranger 4x4 v6 or get a 2000s Silverado. Diesel trucks are cool, but if you've never had one they're inconvient in ways that are hard to explain. Like they're kind of mantisnce hogs, the older ones are fiddly in the cold, fuel can be harder to find in some parts of the country. They aren't a good "only vehicle".
