Cheap Stuff that Works

[Raghorn54]

Hahaha no doubt.

Bottom line though, a great tool to have around, for an extra 6.6 oz in the pack. Have an extra in my truck, too, that has seen a ton of use over the past five years. Surprised to see them still in the $20-30 range

What a thread.

Saw it mentioned once since 2020, but will put another vote in now for the Bahco Laplander folding saw. Great for cutting wood to fit the stove, works fine on bone in a pinch, and is reasonably light weight.

Could also be a hunt-saver… if, say, your Seek Outside aluminum 8-man tipi pole folds in half on night one after a light dusting of snow… and you need to repurpose a small tree trunk.

$27 on Amazon right now.

And for an extra $12, can get a Mora knife with a sheath to go with it.

You cost me $39…

BEST THREAD ON ROKSLIDE

This may have been mentioned, but the $10 Walmart D2 pocket knife is the best crap knife in its class. D2 is ok steel that holds an edge well, which is crucial for extra / sacrificial knives. Good for all those uses where using a real knife hurts.

There are better knives for $15-20 but nothing in this price range.

Robot or human?

How will you carry it? If you’re not using a backpack it’s hard to beat a buddy heater for a short trip. We use them all the time ice fishing. Much easier than keeping a fire going.
