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!]
