Hooray for Nova Scotia!

Trust Canada to make a law that makes sense.

The law requires that you carry a knife or axe, waterproof matches (or matches in a waterproof container) and a compass when travelling in unfamiliar terrain.

Take that, everyone who says "you don't need a knife when hiking or camping."

Canada, Canada, Canada!!!

(Now I just need some waterproof matches...already carry a compass)

Still can't carry autos, or balisongs in Toronto, though. Hey, wonder what I can get away with if I go city hiking up to Richmond Hill?

That law won't help me. I need to carry 6 knives and 3 axes.

I love 'unfamiliar terrain' that could mean many places depending on your point of view!!

No use taking a chance man . I say carry all of it all the time

I now have hope for Canada!

If I am heading to Halifax but I live in PEI would Halifax be considered unfamiliar terrain and thus require matches, axe, knife etc.

SnG and Spyderco Tuff were my last 2 Toronto knives.

As Obi-Wan said, it all depends on your point of view.

If I were the cop, I'd say yes.

And Happy New Year to one and all!!!
