A question of knives:
Prompted by a post by @intrepedhero, I started wondering. The author photo of a linked article showed a large knife prominently attached to his backpack strap. I camp, day hike, sometimes backpack or bikepack, but I don’t hunt or fish. In nearly 6 decades of playing outdoors, I can’t recall having ever needed more of a knife in the wild than the small folding pocket knife I always carry. So my questions:
Do you carry a fixed blade knife in the wild? Why? Have you ever used it for anything, and if so, what?
