One of the most important pieces of camping gear is the knife. While a knife may not be on the top your essential camping equipment list, it should be. Best Camping Gear Reviews has provided you with three reasons why you should carry a good knife and three of the best knives in our opinion.
Why should you carry a knife while camping?
1) Protection- Some of the most beautiful campgrounds are in the backcountries. If you are out taking a hike and wonder upon a wild animal or snake, you are able to use the knife to protect you. We all of seen the survival shows on television and the hosts always have a good knife.
2) Cutting- Whether it is cutting food or cutting up branches to keep you warm, a knife is the easiest thing to cut with.
3) Digging- You never know when you are going to have to dig a small area so having a sharp pointed knife will make the digging easier.
What knife manufacturers are the best to carry while camping?
1) Kershaw knives- Kershaw knives are very good. Not only do a lot of campers own these, but Police Officers use them as a part of their police equipment. Kershaw knives are inexpensive and get the job done.
2) Buck Knives- Perhaps one of the best known knives manufactures is Buck Knives. Buck Knives has been making hunting knives, pocket knives, camping knives for quite some time. They build a very high quality knife that is meant to last a long time.
3) Benchmade Knives- Benchmade knives are very good. There are both straight and folding knives made by Benchmade.
There are many options when it comes to knives. Some campers like to have a straight knife while some like a folding knife. It is all up to you but Best Camping Gear Reviews highly recommends that you buy yourself a good knife to put in with your camping gear.
A good knife can be found at your local camping gear stores or police equipment stores.
