Alaska Carry

[EMCEE]

My beautiful wifey and I are going to Anchorage, Alaska in 4 days. We’ll be adventuring with our youngest son who is stationed up there. My question is, which 2 CPKs should I bring?

I already have firearms and gear lined up for the trip. The knife option though, is not yet decided. I plan to spend a few daytimes “ back country” but no camping or hunting on this trip unless fate makes it so.

Of course, we always pack and plan for worst case scenarios so I’m keeping that in mind. Any advice or opinions will be welcomed and appreciated CPK family. Thank you.

I know that you have amassed a pretty nice bevy of CPKs in a short while but you've got to tell us which ones you own and considering already for making some suggestions. Shot in the dark? an LC and an EDC / DEK variants.

Lc and fk, I'm a bit partial though.

Bring a SDFK for the peace of mind, and a BFK/FK for actual utility.

A big knife for wood processing and a smaller one for finer stuff? HDFK if it’s my only knife.

Without specific uses outlined .... I would probably carry the HDFK and one of the EDC or DEK variations. If you're going deep into the woods away from civilization I might carry a chopper on my pack (the MC would be my choice) and either an FK or DEK variation of some sort.

I’ve tried all the big ones out and to me, the MC is the perfect big CPK. Not too big and not too small, it’s just right.

SDFK and the reaper

Awesome recommendations, so far. I have all of those options minus the LC. We’ll just be hiking and exploring on this trip. That said, with bad luck….leisure activities sometimes turn into survival situations. Thank you all for responding.

If you are not camping then an SAK, compass, map and bear spray. Also bug repellent! And maybe a Dek 1…

Don’t forget your water filter, wood burning stove and fire tinder for the rainy days.

SAK ??? Got the rest of the list but I’m not sure what a “SAK” is. Well, bear spray I’ll be buying up there…and of course, a 10mm just in case the wind is blowing in the wrong direction. Thank you.

Say it ain't so, emcee.

Micheal enjoy your trip and be safe as to what blades, I’d go with your Dek3 and Hdfk. With your 10mm and bear spray I think your covered.

Martin, you of all my friends may know that I no longer have a HDFK and do not yet own a DEK 3. If so, then this is one of the wittiest posts I’ve read. I love it !!! Thank you Big Woody !!!

Based on the activities you described, I would absolutely go with the shiv, the pubs can get pretty hairy up there.
