Seems like a worthwhile addition.
Also, not a weapon of course, but something I haven't seen mentioned in this thread is that I think my lock pick set might come in handy if I was on the run.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever used a sling shot to hit small game? When I was younger, I had one and I had ambitions of getting squirrels with it. As it turned out, I was lucky to hit the broad side of the barn with that thing.
Now I am one of those people who had to really work to become a half way decent shot with a rifle. And I know that there is people out there who can just pick up anything and hit their target. But from my limited experience, the learning curve on a sling shot is way sharper than it is on a firearm or even a bow.
