Thinking back on my blade recommendations, and that can be a morale factor because the more confident you are in your equipment the better you feel, Maybe THREE blades would be best.

1. Longer blade, machete or a large 9 inch or longer like the DF or B11.
2. A Midsize blade for normal camp type chores, like the S5, 511 or the Wardog and the Ratmandu would also work of course.
3. A smaller blade like the Scrapivore, Rodent solution, Mud Puppy or Swamp warden. This would be for "Pocket knife" type chores and save your larger blades.

Plus the smaller blade especially the Scrapivore and Swamp Warden could (maybe should) be worn as a neck knife so you will always have a blade no matter WHAT happens. AND BE SURE YOU INCLUDE A QUALITY SHARPENER! I am once again going to recommend the Eze-lap model M for it's strength and longevity.
