Hello again!
Well i'm starting to get ready for my first authentic camping trip. Five of my friends and I will be canoeing and camping in the Boundary Waters in Northern MN, for 4 Nights. Were trying to get a good list of things to bring so far its looking a bit like this:
One tent, life vests x6, sleeping bags x6, 1 pot, 1 pan, eating utensils, flashlight, lighter, Med Kit, Fishing poles and bait, Utility Knife (my new Fallkniven F1!), shovel, compass, map, water purification tablets.
So far I think its a pretty good list. If anyone has any more suggestions or tips, they would be much appreciated.
As in my other post I mention my search for a new "Chopper". I really cant decide between a Kukri, Axe, Folding saw, or a Large Fixed Blade Chopper. I know its mostly personal preference but with my experince...which is 0, Is there a suggested blade to start with. This will most likely be used very heavily with preparing all the wood for the fire. Price range is ~$200. So maybe a Folding Saw and a Chooper?
Just to give you an Idea of "Choppers" I have been looking at are.
Granfors Small Forest Axe, ESEE Junglas, RTAK II, Kershaw Folding Saw, BK-9,
Cold Steel Trail Hawk, Fiddleback Golok or Machete. I also have seen alot of Custom Knives, I know these are mostly made up names but the hatchula and woodchuck, both I saw on tese forums and really dig the Design.
Ill end it here haha, Thanks again Everybody.
