Edged Tools
What single tool or combination of tools would be the most useful: Knife (Small, Medium, Large)? Fixed or Folding?
Hatchet?
For use in Northern Woodlands
When I think about wilderness survival up here in Southern Alberta my current thinking is:
- If I only have one tool, I want a sturdy fixed blade knife.
- If I have 2, it would be that knife & a folding saw
From there, I'd add, a SAK or Leatherman as a backup / repairs tool and a hatchet. Actually, the hatchet is the most contentious choice as I often question its utility v. wieght. It always seems to come along when I'm planning an overnight though.
This is talking about foot powered pursuits.
