If it's gonna be an "Outback blade" you might want to go the indestructible route and consider the Regulator. But anything I FEEL 7 inches plus would be a good choice. Probably wouldn't ever need something like that, but the knife, fire makings and maybe food for a day would be nice. Oh and maybe something to fish with at well. You never know.
