Well, I never go *anywhere* (other than on commercial aircraft) without a solid folder. But I don't enter the wild without a full tang fixed blade. Not only are fixed blades more reliable (no moving parts to fail), they are much easier on your hands since they are designed for comfort (not compactness).
