Thanks for clearing that up LED and chaosmagnet. In the UK 'hiking' and 'hillwalking' are virtually interchangeable words, as there is nowhere but the hills that aren't heavily populated and there is nothing there but grass, rock and heather. It's only in the last few decades outdoor stores even started selling any knives, as they are virtually useless items in reality. I was at a mountaineering clubs party in the 70s on bottle opening duties; using heel of palm strikes on the edge of a table, as there wasn't a bottle opener between the 30 of us :-). qjs
