Best 3 Pieces of gear you've acquired, and why?

[robsdak]

I don't even remember the name of it. If it had one ??? it was nothing fancy, but it fit my hand perfectly, and held a nice edge. About the only two criteria that I have.

I have a couple of nice ones that rarely leave the safe! One hasn't even cleaned an animal yet!

shame on you! knives are meant to be used.

i have a few. from $27 - $325 and they all make it through the rotation.

as for favorite 3 pieces of gear? i would have to i don't have any.

3 that i couldn't do with out... with these 3 i get by until i 'find' what else i want.

knife
ferro rod
paracord

My knives are all under $100. My Beckers are the highest cost I can think of and they were under $70. I have several I rarely use because they just don't feel as good under use as I thought they would. Most of the rest, other than my work EDC, I rotate around kinda regular. I don't carry sheath knives very often. May be something I should think about doing, kinda like carrying a pistol. Get a better feel for the weight and how they handle.

I worry about carrying a fixed blade. almost all of mine are vertical sheath style and are rather obvious. I can just see somebody freaking out about it in public.

[bacpacker]

Unless I'm in the woods or outside working I. Ant recall the last time I had a fixed blade on in Public. I do see folks carrying fixed blades at times though. It just don't seem very grey to me.

during hunting season I add one fixed blade or another to my belt and it stays there for the duration. With my camo jacket and hat, no one has ever given me grief. Not even if it is my moose knife.

My every day knife is a kershaw assist opening. I love it, I think it cost less than 40 bucks.

Here is my do everything knife. It is thick and strong as hell. A friend made it for me.



Here is my favorite skinner.

The 3 items I feel I could depend on to save my life if needed that I feel in my heart are 100% dependable are my Glock 26, as it is small, concealable, and dependable, the Randall Made knife I inherited from my father, who carried it strapped to his leg on every B-52 flight he ever made while defending his country against the Russian menace, and my reading glasses, as I can't see a damn thing without them. Without them, everything else is pointless.

I hope you have more than a few pairs of glasses for backups then... like a bunch!

Helo, that's a gorgeous little skinner! I like that a lot!

A new 1 man tent, a new army surplus backpack, and a used .38 revolver as a backup.

[ElevenBravo]

A .38 may not be today's most sought after weapon, but Ill be dammed if I want to get shot by one! If the pistol can handle it, run +P ammo.

At least you didnt buy a .22 for self defense!!!
