I chose the becker campanion for the very same reason plus a few simple mods I've seen helped. The blade is aprox. 1/4 in thick so it can be used for light chopping, batoning but will not fillet fish to good.

I took the handle slabs off and put in a sparklite kit in one side and put some foil and some boulion paks in the other. Also the kydex sheath can be loaded up with more gear of your choise by useing some paracord and pouches.

Hope this helps
