    Is a psk really needed in the UK?

    My "PSK" has come in handy quite a bit. I don't call it that. Just stuff I find useful and carry with me. Use my knife quite a bit. Also have a smaller Victorinox Executive on my with a AAA flashlight. The small blade and scissors get a lot of use. Occasionally the tweezers. The...

    SAK blade snapping?

    As a kid, I saved my pennies and bought my first Swiss Army knife... a Hunter. Carried it everywhere and used it for everything, including a little minor surgery. Being a dumb kid, I bent the tip of the small blade. Straightened it back as best I could. But it taught me a valuable lesson...

    buying woods to wild camp

    I bought some land. Pretty wild. May or may not camp in it, but will likely clear a little and plant some fruit trees. It is pretty wild still. Land if for my kids' future.

    Kydex sheath for Gary Mills Woodlore Clone?

    Thanks guys. I like leather. And the sheath from Gary is in good shape. I'd like to meet it that way, so may add a kydex option especially since my buddy offered to make it for me. Maybe knife will get more on body time.

    Kydex sheath for Gary Mills Woodlore Clone?

    What are your thoughts on kydex for a Gary Mills Woodlore clone? I won one from Gary maybe 13 years ago. The blade has been used but I find myself babying the sheath since I am in Hawaii and it is wet out quite a bit. So the knife is in my pack more than on my person. My buddy suggested a...

    Machete

    When I first saw the Skrama, I was attracted to it because of the long handle. I think the proportions make it versatile. So I bought both the carbon and the stainless steel. Took the stainless one camping and destroyed it on hard wood on its first usage. The edge chipped and rolled. Think...

    Machete

    A 12" Tramontina might fit the bill for you. Cheap, easy to maintain, and rugged. It fits in a pack pretty easily and works even for trail clearing (not heavy duty trail clearing since it is small). I pair it with a hooked stick that I cut. Take a file with you and you are good to go for...

    Decent pocketable torch

    I have a Prometheus copper AAA light. I like it because of how smooth the machining is when turning the head. Bright enough for most things with three practical modes. For 2 ounces more, I have a Eagletac titanium AA. I keep bank line whipped around it too. That is included in the weight...

    Maxpedition

    I have one too and never use it. I just carry a back pack for most things. Or a shoulder bag if I plan to take little. Because it is expensive, I use my Filson Journeyman backpack for everything. Have to get me money's worth. The Frost River Grand Marais Mailbag is a good small shoulder bag...
