A Bug out Bag for a Malaysian.
I agree with what you say, I don’t have the experience about wildfire, but I always try to know if the size of backpack suits me before I buy. Hauling a lot of gear without hip belt is truly a pain. Some preppers I know rotate their gear depending on the season, mostly adding the insulation gear (jacket, gloves, wool socks) and etc. Edit: I forgot to say, some backpack produced by professional company have advanced carrying system that could be manually adjusted base on your height.
Mostly at my local online knife store, or knifecenter.com if something the local store don’t have.
Yes, the tip is designed to pierce into the flesh and rip the skin apart with serration, tip on matriarch lean toward for utility use, while civilian toward piercing use, earlier civilian model have even more thin and delicate tip that Spyderco warn the knife should not be used for utility purpose as it would broke. A funny thing, I remember also see someone doing civilian vs anti slash kevlar vest test and the civilian slash through it.
My post only stat my view of best survival knife, but that does not mean having a knife would get you survive anyway in the woods. I would say knowledge and sense is you best friend in survival situation, me and my friend tried to challenge ourself and prove that we could survive ourself in local rain forest at lease a week without civilization tools, (Tools and other resources in camp but never open it, in case anything). But if I have at lease a knife, I wont need to pick up smooth rock from stream and sharpen them with another rock. Putting that aside, The Falkniven F1 was a top tier survival knife back in the day (it still good these day), but for now there are many steel which is much better than laminated vg-10. That does not mean you always need to have the best quality knife (since new steel always come out, after some year this post might be outdated too), in the end just pick what suit you. Keep in mind 1095cro-van is also a super steel back in the 196x.
I use Victorinox multi tool oil, if I forgot to oil a blade and let it rust, medium grit sand paper could remove it fast.
Added some more info and fixed some typo. Was thinking to update info about pure fighting knife and best knife for prying, but I don’t think most people need this. I am sure willing to share what I know if requested.
Yes, I always pack my leatherman surge into my backpack. Its a little bit heavier than normal multi tool but end up have more use than I expected.
