The Benefits Of Having Survival Knives For Your Own Use
Some things haven’t aged a bit. Take a look at the wheel, it’s still exactly the same and it’s still utilized for the same intent, even if in different ways. That’s also where the term ‘reinventing the wheel’ originates from, because the wheel is such a superb tool, it has defied evolution. A knife is similar to the wheel because throughout the ages, it has been a recognised and ‘must have’ tool for outdoor survival. It has helped us hunt, make shelter and much more importantly, helped us protect ourselves.
The knife is a staple part of any kind of survival toolkit; it’s a component of my own, that’s for sure, and it’s because I know how important it is in the outdoors. Here, in nature’s domain, man de-evolves from the comfort of his home to a much more primordial environment and here’s is where the knife comes into play. I use the knife here for many things. Primarily, I skin my game using it so that I can eat it. It helps me to strip the fur from the meat and also to clean it out. This is for both land based animals as well as many of the fish I have captured. It’s particularly important for the fish since it can help get the bones out and clean the meat extensively. And when I’m finished, I can utilize the knife to chop off some branches to make the fire to cook my food and continue to be warm too.
In the right hands, it can also be utilized as a dangerous weapon but most outdoor survivalists put it to use mostly for self-defence from assaulting predators. The beauty of a knife is that apart from a weapon it can also be used for other reasons, such as a can opener.
Different kinds of survival knives are usually in use, many of them you may have observed on the bigscreen. Those that you would see available in commonly available knife tool kits are the fixed blade knives, like the Aitor mod, Fällkniven and the Gerber. A much more comprehensive tool kit consists of the compendium called the Master Cutlery set. Other types of knives have the machetes and pocket survival kits too.
I usually forget to bring the can opener on my camping trips, but I’m least bothered about that since I have my trusted knife. Likewise, my knife helps me out anywhere I've got to make use of a rope. If I’m camping near snow, it also helps me clean out the frost from the night before and even hacking through ice for water. I’ve lost count the number of instances it has really helped me cope with some challenging times. It’s cared for me and I tend to take care of it.
Almost every week, without fail, regardless of whether I go camping or not, I clean my knife. I first sharpen the blade and then proceed to sanitize it. Sanitizing is very important since the knife comes into contact to all sorts of materials, organic and also inorganic. I do that to make sure that the next time I use my knife it is as sharp as ever and ready. While I’m outdoors, I have the knife installed on my belt so that I can put it to use right away.
It also offers me a sense of satisfaction to know that I have a buddy beside me that can help me survive through the outdoors.
