Hiking Combo's ?

Hmm, my RC-4 is my main blade but I sometimes sub it out for another 4" prybar or the buck 119.

My PSK/first aid kit has a SAK camper in it along with a scalpel. My photobag as a SAK solider tucked in one of the strap pockets and a leatherman juice in the side pocket. When on extended trip I either bring a hatchet or sub that with a folding saw.

Here is one combo I often carry. I am selling this combo to fix up a new one. The knife is a 510 and the 5 inch Opinel saw.
 
Sog powerlock, Gerber Command II, Ontario sp-8(bought pre lawsuit) Knives of Alaska cub bear.
 
My usual Combo for around here is my Manix, and a Wave tool with a Salt as a back up.

I sometimes throw in a fiskars hatchet or a kAbar on linger trips.
 
I always have on me a Benchmade AFCK, a Buck 271, a Vic Swiss Spirit. When I hike, there is a Mora permanently sheathed in my shoulder bag and since I got it, I've taken along my RC-3. That may change soon, though, thanks to you, Mr. Pitdog :mad:, as I now have a SR Hairy Carry on order.

Actually, Mr Dog, I'm really looking forward to the SRHC. I have a picture on my desktop and ogle it every chance I get. :D. Thanks for the heads up.

I can't wait to see your pics Doc, I'm sure it will be a great little blade !!!:D:thumbup:
 
For day hikes I have a Buck Diamondback 3" fixed blade, a Gerber folder, and a Leatherman Micra multi-tool.

I keep the Diamondback in the Camelbak Ambush gear pocket because I like to keep a low profile with the fixed blade and the Camelbak Ambush pockets are too small for any larger fix blade to fit.

The Gerber folder has a partial serrated edge and I keep it on the Camelbak shoulder strap for easy access and because I hate carrying things in my pants pockets.

The Leatherman Micra in my mini-PSK I use for day hikes.

I've never really needed any of them, but I like knowing that I have them. If for some reason I have to spend an unplanned night in the field, I think I will have enough to get me through.
 
I always carry a VIC Rucksack in a Zipploc bag along with some other items (some cordage, tape, BIC ligther, fire starting tablest, Kleenex and alike) in my pack but it doesn't see any use.

When I go climbing I carry something on my harness that I can open with just one had and quick. Usually an Spyderco Rescue (maybe a Delica or Endura if I plan on cutting some more stuff than just rope and webbing). If I am carrying my pack, the Zipploc bag comes along as well.

When I go hiking (no climbing involved) I carry my Zipploc bag in the pack a 4" FB on my person (F1 or Aurora) and if I plan on cutting wood for fire making, a saw. I guess that in the event of a big screw up I am well equipped even without the saw.

I have a brand new BRKT Canadian Camp that still haven't seen any use and a RAT-7 that when carried, goes in the pack (it draws a lot of attention just as it is now... but how would you like it with blue canvas micarta handles and a leather sheat? :D :D can't say any more now... it would ruin the surprise!). When the Canadian Camp gets used I am not sure if it will go in the pack or on my belt.

I pack these (Gerber Sportaxe 14", Ontario RAT-7 & Gerber multitool) if it's going to be an overnighter :D

If it's just a day hike I like these ( Ontario TAK & Leatherman Kick) :thumbup:

Along w/ those items I've always got my Vic. SAK Soldier & Buck 889 SBMF;)
 
right now most commonly its my mora #1 on my belt or in my bag and my penknife in my pocket.
 
A Bark River TUSK and SAK. What can I say I'm a simpleton and believe less is more.

I usually bring a Gamewarden and either a Ratmandu or ASH-1. And of course my Farmer and Silky.

Uh oh! You may get banned admitting that:eek:

For outdoors, I'll always have a SAK on me...usually a Alox Farmer or Outrider.

I'll always have a locking folder; it's been my RSK-1 for the majority of the hiking trips.

I've been doing more "bushcraft" lately, so I almost always have a fixed blade on me, and it's been either a Skookum Bush Tool or my Koster Bushcraft.

I carry a SAK huntsman and a mora 521 (basically a 510 with slightly longer blade and a finger guard). I think I might replace the 521 with a 510 though, since i like the shorter blade and am realizing I probably don't need a guard as much as I thought.

just got a silky pocket boy though, and that'll be coming on backpacking trips now.

I like to travel light :)

I got the Silky Super Accel, what an amazing amount of cutting power you get for just 9 oz. The one I have came with the large teeth but now I'm thinking about ordering a second blade with medium or fine teeth, both for use on different materials as well as having as a backup.
