EDC: Everyday Carry In The Woods (Part Two)

Now.jpg

A breakdown of what's in the Camelback Mule Daypack

On the outside are

  • Mechanix Camo Gloves
    Relatively flimsy, but form fitting. I like them!
  • Spyderco Dragonfly
    A small backup knife that is capable of decent sized tasks. Has unbelievable ergonomics for a small knife. Typical Spyderco quality... a classic. This knife won't scare folks when it is pulled out to open a letter.

In pocket one

  • Opinel Folding Pocket Saw
    Good quality from France. Cuts quickly, and is small enough to carry in a pocket. Wooden handle SWEET.
  • Fiskars X14 Hand Axe
    My favorite axe! A high value/low cost item that performs very well. Has been Indestructable (knock on wood).
  • Condor Bushlore Fixed Blade Knife
    Another high value/low cost item that is a killer value! Hand made quality on the cheap! Feels great in the hand. (Not far from being a pry-bar.) The real leather sheath (alone) is worth the asking price of the knife.

In pocket two

  • Six inch Stainless Ruler
    Good for marking lines, drawing in a notepad, and measuring plants/animals.
  • Worksharp Knife Sharpener
    This jewel does everything. Has an angle guide, diamond plates, ceramic rods, and leather strop.
  • Sharpie
    Marking, drawing, and doodling entertainment.
  • Streamlight Pen Light
    Bright, dependable, Led and easy on batteries. (Takes common AAAs)

Eldris deserves his own spotlight

  • Morakniv Eldris Fixed Blade Knife
    For wood carving. Has a very good ergonomic grip. Typical Mora quality.

  • Pro Knot Flash Cards
    How to tie common knots. Handy to have when knot tying skills have not been written to memory yet.
  • Brunton, or Silva Compass
    A basic compass for basic orienteering.
  • Some reading material
    For downtime under a tree, or sitting in a barn loft.
  • Basic First Aid
    Absolutely necessary! Bushcrafters use sharp tools (usually). Crazy Glue is great for wound closure, or liquid skin, and perhaps some butterfly strips.

For pocket three

I will continue in Part Three since it contains some really small, intricate, and important parts, for fire building and such.

Come back tomorrow, and we'll dump out the third pocket.

[Get Out!]
