In 2 hours I begin a 8-9 day Hunting trip to the Bighorn mountains, where my father and I along with two buddies will be backpacking from a base camp, hunting Mule Deer in the high country. I have packed and repacked asking my self "do I really need this" of every item. I will be spike camping at least 3 nights so the pack can get pretty full and heavier than I'd like. I don't have any doubles or redundant of anything except for cutlery. Which Beckers did I pack?
I have 2,4,9,10,14,24,15,16. Better yet what would you or have you packed for similar excursions?
Pics make threads relevant.

A 9, cause you just can't be without a 9 plus the 15 and 16 to cover different blade types and all other tasks. Good luck on the hunt, sounds like a great experience.
 
9, 15, 24. I'm at base camp right now I have an 11 on me, a 15, 16, 17, 9 also with me. Along with a gang of other steel as well.

All of them is the correct answer.

But if you only had to choose 3. Mine would be 2,15, 24. Tho I have yet to personally try it out... I bet the 2 would split joints like no other while processing.
 
4, 11, 16 should be able to get what you need done.
4 from chopping down to smaller wood work.
16 redundant small wood work and camp utility.
11 redundant camp duties and food/game cleaning as well as beverage breach tool.

9, 15, 16 was my first choice, but after some thought and someone already calling that combo.
*shakes fist at Mbay* :D

Been there done that with the 2, 11, and 9 with assorted other knives in base camp chasing elk and mule deer in CO. After 2 days all I've got is the 11 around my neck and a skinner in my pack. With your selection and the fact that you are going in a group I'd chose the 24, 15, and 16. They should do anything you need.

How bout 2, 9 and a 16. I could get it done with those but there's a lot of combos that would get it done.
