Early heads up. The details aren't hashed out yet, cost, date, etc, but the next survival weekend will be in the fall and we're planning an epic one.



The weekend will be focused on game processing. AND of course cooking eating and libation!
 
First of all, notajerryskid notajerryskid , thanks for the seed money.

Now, I need to hone my kit for the upcoming virtual survival weekend (Date TBD, but October 24-26 looks like a great option). Sure, it'd be great if we could all get together in person, but let's not let that stop us.

So what knife would you propose for a survival weekend that involved a deer, duck, and fish as well as all the other associated tasks of surviving.

I’d think something kephart like. But I do like the toboggan. IMO, it's a sleeper in the line up.

In reality, it'd be kinda cool to post a series of tasks, like (1) buy a roaster chicken at Walmart (Just to keep it "fair") and make a survival meal using only your knife. Some could take it all the way, and others - like me- who lives in an apartment complex- could bake it in the oven. The real challenge is can your knife dice an onion. (2) Obtain a fish and eat it. (Some may work the local pond, others the frozen foods section). (3) Make a fire using your knife. - Extra points if you make it hard on yourself. (4) Dull your knife by cutting a brick and sharpen it using your "survival kit" and on and on.

Maybe each participant gets to make up a challenge.

Obviously pictures are required.
