I don't know what your problem is Randy.
711 inside the pack and the Chop House on the outside!
My bush going pack has two unchanging residents, Chopweiler and Swamp Warden with handles. At times another blade or two goes on the trip, but those two stay no matter what.
I had thought about that Cesar, but I will already have a Mora with built in ferro rod in the bag. Yeah I know, it doesn't have the versatility of the 711 NOR the strength, but I am trying to keep it light and am getting ready to take everything out of the pack for re-evaluation, trying to get as many items as I can inside to serve more than one purpose so I can carry more varied gear for the same weight.
