This is probably one of the most asked questions as I adventure and workout often. Dedicated fitness trackers are fine, but I need a multifunctional device that can do more than just track my steps. So, what fitness tracker do I use?
As often as the next task is what I was told. When you are preparing a meal and cutting chicken, vegetables, fish, and other items with one knife, you should clean it each time you cut the next item.
There is a full tang knife, a folding knife, and a multitool knife in general. But if I can only carry one, I would carry a full tang knife.
I have a collection of headlamps, flashlights, work lights, lighting for photography, and lighting for camping. It’s a bit out of hand as I started collecting lights as a child. I finally found one I use often, and it is always on me in my backpack or in my car. It is a flashlight and work light combined, and it can charge your phone in a pinch.
I don’t know about you, but whatever it takes to lower my pack weight so I can carry a lighter load but not compromise what I bring to an adventure or survival situation is critical for me. Whenever possible, I bring carbon fiber, aluminum, or titanium for as much of my gear. There are many brands out there that make titanium based cookware, cups and water bottles, but my favorite one has to be from Silver Ant.
If you use it often, once a week. If not, look at its cutting capability, and if it is not up to par, sharpen it. Make sure you take your time to sharpen your knives in order to avoid damaging the edge. Don’t forget to lube your knife as well. Once a year, I take the knife apart to lube it. Last but not least, treat the blade with oil (knife oil, camellia oil, kurobara, and the like).
This is a great question, and I’ll go over the list below. But this question really deserves to ask the question of the type of camping you are going to do. If you are camping out of a car, bring all the creature comforts. If you are doing a hike through, you may want to minimize what you bring to make the hike a bit easier.
The Tough-Grid 550 lb and Tough-Grid 750 lb paracords are my go-to paracords for all my packs. I usually carry a minimum of 100 ft of the 550 lb, and at least 20 ft of the 750 lb. I have use the 550 lb paracord to make a paracord bracelet, a pace counter for navigation and orienteering, as well as used it in adventure and survival situations. I won’t go with just any other paracord anymore for survival tasks.
A paracord is a paracord, so most people think, but I love Tough-Grid for many reasons. I have really stressed these, and it breaks beyond the 550 lb test, though I would say 550lbs is guaranteed by the company. I usually carry a minimum 100 feet of Tough-Grid paracord for every occasion.
I love this question. All of this can be packed, nested in different items, or worn and it doesn’t take as much space as you would think. It weighs less than 20 lbs. In the event I get injured or lost (I have never been lost yet), this provides enough items to survive until I am evacuated by a medical helicopter or found by search and rescue.
