Alternatively titled, "The Sum of My Whims."
For a good while now, the following have been my main edged tools for the woods and all backyard bushcrafting (except the newly acquired GB Mini, but it's just supplanting a GB Wildlife). I don't always carry a saw, but the dang Fiskars is so lightweight it's tough to leave behind! Great little saw. The US issue pocket knife is a new-old knife. It was a gift (blade was made in the year of my birth) but it's stayed largely shelved until recently. I finally broke down and put a decent (hair popping) edge on it, and I'm not sure it's left my pocket since! Tight springs and stout, all-steel construction, plus a very proper awl that may exceed my Vic Farmer.
Pack is a little German milsurp (goes for $10, but I actually found it behind a shed in my apartment complex - it was abandoned to the weather for about 9 months, so I claimed it, cleared the bugs out, and refurbished it). Holds enough for an overnight (billy pot, blanket, GI poncho/tarp, incidentals, food..).
I'd love to see what blades you guys are using currently! :thumbup:
