I'm also a strong believer in "you survive on what you have on you"... I carry a Leatherman Wave, Kershaw Boa & LED converted Mini Mag Lite in a combo sheath on my belt at all times. Also carry a backup CrossLock Double Blade when needed... camping, canoe, etc... In my camp/ BOB gear I carry a SP8 from ontario for chopping, digging, hammering..etc. This combination will function anywhere I roam.<br>One Note... don't forget to include something to sharpen with.
