All You Guys Carrying Several Knives... Buy One QUALITY Knife Like A Gene Ingram Or Charles May And Be Down To One.

 

Mine Doesn't Differ Much Besides A Chain With The Ivories Of My First Elk, And Mule Tape.

 

 

It's not having a poor quality or dull knife that is the problem, it's that if I only carry that one quality knife- and somehow forget to pack, drop, lose, or break that one quality knife... I am then knifeless. I do actually carry decent quality knives, three of them.

Mine Never Leaves My Pack Besides To Clean It, Then Right Back In.

I always carry my good knife in my pack, then one folding knife in my pants pocket for every day chores

When I scout, I don't pack the things I use like skinning knives, game bags, tag, etc. I do kind of over pack. I have a medic pack that I use, so I fill it up. 2 MRE's, water, gloves, extra pair of socks, hat, signal mirror, extra batteries, flash light, flint/steel, first aid pack, machete, parachord, map, compass, baby wipes, coyote call, radio, map, one road flare, some snacks, rain poncho, florescent tape, binos....... I even have a jungle hammock and tarp, just in case I have to spend the night. Too much and too heavy, but it's fun.

I use my Ruger .308 Hawkeye carbine when scouting, since it's shorter and always have my side arm.

crap, forgot about range finder, camera and a little spiral notebook and pencil. On my hip I keep my multitool and a good fixed bladed knife (Morakniv).
