As the video portrays, you can create fish hooks from paperclips. Simply bend the paperclip in the shape of a hook, tie it to your fishing line and voilà, a fishing hook. As an added bonus, the metal finish found on most paperclips will reflect sunlight, making it an effective lure for fish.
In the event that SHTF, you need to be resourceful, and that’s exactly where a paperclip comes in handy. You can straighten a paperclip out and sharpen one end of it on a rock or hard surface. Find a small tube, and you have an effective way to hunt small game with your very own blow dart gun. You should probably make more than one “dart” though.
