Ok so I've decided to try out a modern interpretation of a Nessmuk trio. I hunt and camp in hardwood forests and need knives that can function appropriately for big and small game processing while still being tough enough for bushcraft chores. As it stands, with PRICE and my physical stature in mind, I've decided on the tools below accompanied by my bow/.410, a 20lbs ruck sack, ghillie suit, and a sleeping bag with bug netting to accompany me on a 2 week hunting/camping/hiking trip, let me know if you think my nessmuk candidates would stand up, and if they wouldn't tell me why or what gear YOU would recommend.

1. Fiskars X15 23.5in Chopping Axe
2. Schrade SCHF19 6.5in (blade) Extreme Surival Knife
3. Ka Bar/Becker D'Eskabar 3in (blade) Kneck Knife

Ps.. my rucksack is MOLLE so the axe would be lashed to the side. And I can carry a small fire steel, basic fishing kit, small sharpener and small led light in the aux pocket of the Schrade sheath as an extra back up if I were to be seperated from my pack. Thought that was a plus :)
Thanks guys, Jake.
 
Deep wilderness pack in camps, with a bow, are what I live for!
One thing I have learned to do in a promising area, is "stash" some stuff in there, so when you pack in next time you will be that much lighter.

You might look at replacing that neck knife with an Esee Rat Zancudo.
That folder would be something you can carry when not on the trail also.

I have since upgraded, but I loved my Council Tool boys axe for the purpose you mentioned above.
Never tried the Fiskars so can't comment.
 
I will look at that folder! Gotta love ESEE.
And to HALFNECK, I do enjoy mutitools and swiss armies, and I'll more than likely have one in my pack just in case, but for the Nessmuk I thought I'd keep it to actual knives.
What would you stash gear in to let it hold in the wilderness until you got back?
