Knives and Primitive Skills
The most essential piece of camping gear that you can take out into the woods is a good knife. With a knife most of your survival skills are well at hand. A knife can make shelter building a breeze with a basic level of land knowledge. A knife can b valuable in each of these activities: cutting dead branches for firewood, filleting food so that the edible parts are uncovered, defending against wild animals. The applications of a good knife are endless. For those that are going to spend time nature, it is imperative that a sharp knife be present during your journey.
Investment in a good outdoor survival knife is just as important as those that we prize in our kitchens, and in terms of your comfort and survival in the woods, it is more important. The rigors of nature definitely certainly call to most of us, but do not make the mistake of venturing off unprepared.
