One of the key questions facing every survivalist is what to put in your survival kit, back or bug-out bag.
It's a tough question – take too much stuff you do not need and you run the risk of not taking stuff you need.
Then again, it is pretty much accepted that having “creature comforts” improves morale.
In the book “The Perfect Storm,” one traveler abandoning a flailing sailboat, grabbed a cheese cutter. When she was admonished as they were getting ready to board a life raft (which the storm yanked out of their hands,) she said stated that something as simple as a cheese cutter would lend some normalcy, if needed, to an awful situation.
The reality is every bug-out bag holds the same dilemma – what is needed and what is “luxury?”
On the next page, we provide some ideas regarding the basics you should have and all under a total weight of 26 pounds.

And throw that pocket knife away and get a fixed blade don’t nobody want that garbage
ANY knife in an emergency is a GOOD KNIFE. All you knife and gun snobs spend all you like for a knife because You know more than anyone. If you have to have a certain kind of knife or you can’t function I suggest you take a course in using what is at hand at the time of need. and while you are at it see about some grammar and English lessons too.
Love that knife have it in my bag and use the $#%&!@*isted open version as my EDC. Absolutely a great knife
Nice knife
I really agree with the weight factor.

Lookin for a good all around fixed blade bush knife this is it.

I have to have weight on my knife. 25lbs you can pack a lot. I have tents that weight less than 2lbs and a sleeping bag that weighs less than 2lbs. That ultra light stuff cost money but extremely effective and can pack more $#%&!@*. A good weight for me is 35lbs….put a 25 lbs weight in your backpack and walk 13 miles. I guarantee you’ll feel it.

You can have the nicest folder in the world but it will still have moving parts that will break eventually
and everyone knows a fixed blade knife has ever worn out or broke.
I have been looking into those do they Stand up to the challenge
I have an extensive knife collection. I use a boker magnum for most of my outdoors. I haven’t used this yet. I paid 160.00 for it and as far as quality I would price it as 300.00
My opinion Top knives are the best American made knife you can own.
Mine is part done

The rope is for hanging Muslim. You’re going to need a lot more.
Lists for lightweight backpackers or survival bags seem to always have the same dorky orange trowel for digging a poop hole, why? You can always find a stick, rock, or even the heel of your boot to dig an adequate cat hole.
The first tip, don’t put anything with the name Bear Grylls in your pack.
If you are going to put a “folding knife” in your bag, spen a little extra, and put in a knife that is worth having. A Buck or a Case knife will hold up to hard use. While the Case “Double-X” is somewhat more pricey, it is a good investment for a dependable tool.
