Thoughts on a Knife

1. Carry one.
2. Even if you aren't a "knife person," you are in the bush.
3. It should be sharp enough to be a knife, pointy enough to be a fork, and wide enough to be a spoon.
4. Folding knives v. sheathed knives are a matter of personal preference, but they each have their proponents.
5. The proponent of each thinks the other is crazy and doesn't understand knives.
6. You won't have your knife taken away from you while traveling within the bush and the Interior.
7. Remember you have your knife on you ~ because you will have your knife on you ~ when you move from traveling within the bush and the Interior to traveling within "normal" civilization. You will have it taken away from you then.
8. Utility tools and Swiss Army knives are fine. Carry one if you want. Don't think it replaces a single purpose, old fashioned knife.
