Recommendation for a female friend of mine. Inputs are highly appreciated!!!

When something works, it works. I am interested what choices are ultimately made by the friend.
 
I've been bumming around for over 40 years in the hills, woods, plains, swamps and wherever I managed to get lost. I developped my own sense of what works or doesn't work. My (limited) experience influenced my (limited) set of tools. But there is one person I like to read here and heed it's advice (somewhat, somewhere, occasionnally) and that's Sir Pinnah. My mileage may be different or similar, but I don't get stuck on novelty, especially if it's pictures of a functional, tried and tested tool set. Consider it a quiet reminder of what works in real life. A simple "Thank you" would be adequate. Then, you can move on and make a stunning, groundbreaking suggestion because going out in the wild is a very personal and creative experience.

My favorite knife when backpacking in the Colorado Rockies is the Gerber Armorhide A400. It's a vintage Gerber that holds an edge well, is incredibly rugged, and is light weight. I've had mine for 40 years and wouldn't part with it.
 
OP's friend should read up on the great Grandma Gatewood. She'll be shopping for canvas sneakers and a SAK Classic by the end of the day. :-)
