Joe, Thanks for the reply to my question.

I have posted many times that I am a knife "user guy".

I don't call it Bushcraft, I just call it knowing how to survive, be it in the southwest (where I spent a lot of time) or in heavy forest or jungle environments.

I honestly never tried to do it with ONE knife.

I could always find material to start a fire (using my hands) without the need for batoning. Batoning makes noise and sometimes that is not a good idea. Sound carries a long way in the desert. I have always carried a larger knife and a smaller knife (minimum).

I have read some of the EDC forums over the years and some of those guys are carrying 50 pounds of gear in a pack and another 100 pounds in their truck. I am a firm believer in being prepared but like the military says, the plan went out the door 15 seconds after the whistle blew.

Ever think about something like this: It can carry the typical bushcraft knives you mentioned.
