Having an edge outdoors


Pick the right tool: Whether you prefer large choppers such as the machete and parang on the left, or just simple bush-knives on the right, there isn’t really a ‘one-size-fits-all’, as the larger knives help with clearing the bush for a path or prepping your campsite, but the smaller ones offer better control for close work.

WRITING about knives and their use outdoors is something that has been done to death already, so this article is not going to be one of those where the writer waxes lyrical about the top N number of knives, or a debate between knife steels for that matter.

A knife is an important tool to bring outdoors, as it has many uses, from clearing plant growth to make shelter, prepping your food and even fashioning other tools for survival if you are caught out in the forest alone.
