I need your opinions. Give this some serious thought. How useful is a multi-tool out in the woods? There's no question about its usefulness in an urban environment but what about in the woods? I see lots of people carrying these tools when hiking/camping. Other than for gear repair I just dont see the point. Do they have another purpose in the bush other than repairing the man-made gear you drag out there with you when you go? I seems to me that a good, strong single blade knife would go a lot further than a multi-tool... even the best of which have pretty shabby blades in them.

Thanks guys... I really value the opinions expressed in this forum and am looking forward to your comments.
