always have a bench mark forlder with me. I usually have some sort of Fixed blade with me. and most often a Hatchet in the pack for camp uties a knife wont handle.
my favorite fixed blades of late have been a Cold Steel Tanto or an ontario knife works, I think its called the "camp Bowie" or something. it holds a really good edge, is heavy enough to chop,and robust enough for light digging/prying. yet weildy enough to be used for trailbreaking and other camp chorse if needed.
