Fixed Blade Vs. Folding Knives

Knives come in all different types but they usually fall in to one of two main categories, Fixed blade or folding knives. Each knife type has it’s advantages and disadvantages. Some knives attempt to cross between categories but when it comes to Fixed blade or Folding knife it has to belong to one category or the other. Some Fixed blade examples are fighting knives, tanto knives and survival knives. Most folding knives are pocket knives but not every folding knife fits in to that category.

The most popular Fixed Blade knife type today is the survival knife. It is probably because the survival knife can perform so many functions that it has become to most popular format these days. If you need to build a shelter and need help cutting down branches but down own an axe or hatchet, the survival knife can help. If you want to build weapons or make traps to capture animals for food, the survival knife can help you. Need to collect or prepare tinder and kindling? The survival knife can help you. Heck, you can even start a fire with a survival knife if it is made of the right metal and you happen to have a fire steel or striker rod.

What you don’t get with a fixed blade knife is convenience when it comes to carrying the knife. Pocket knives or most folding knives are easily carried in your pocket, are usually smaller and lighter. The downside of course is that they are not usually big enough to handle bigger jobs. They do make some folding knives that are bigger, almost big enough to be considered a smaller sized survival knife. They can do the medium sized jobs that a survival knife can do but fold for easy storage and to make carrying it easy too.

The best thing to do is to have both kinds of knives at your disposal and use each one according to the job that needs to be performed.

Climbing

Mountain climbing offers a challenge that few campers can resist, sooner or later. If you’re looking forward to trying it when you grow older, jump at every chance for practice. Crags and steep banks in city parks or hills near home will stretch your ankle tendons and develop your wind and sense of balance. Two red-letter rules for climbing are: 1) ALWAYS test each foothold before you trust your weight to it; and 2) NEVER go up unless you are SURE you can get down again. Getting stuck on a ledge is no way to make friends with the local cops or forest rangers. Abandoned quarries are wonderful fun for climb­ing-with permission, of course! But stay away from quarries with deep water-filled pits. Such holes are an invitation to disaster.

Few of us have the chance to go on pack trips, but a bicycle can be just as much fun as a horse and you don’t have to feed it! You need not stick to paved roads on a bike. There’s hardly any limit to where you can go. Soft sand, deep mud and sharp rocks are the only hazardous terrains. Bring some beef jerky for protein.
