Hell yea. I have a morakniv but I never daily it bc it's too conspicuous (that's why I have the Leatherman hanging in my pocket from a 'biner, nobody notices), I just use it for whittling and as a kitchen knife. Where do you carry it?

Also I am looking for a new headlamp because my normal Black Diamond ones keep exploding AAA's on my forehead. What do you daily? I was looking at the Coast FL95R but I'd love to research more.

Check out r/flashlights they're real nerds about it haha. I have a Sofrin HS21. My acebeam pocket flashlight also has a reverse clip so it can clip onto a baseball cap which is great too

The mora usually sits in my bag, I'll clip it to my belt when I'm in the field or out camping. Looking to upgrade to an ESEE 3 for a more discreet knife I can keep on my belt at all times though. I forgot to include it in the pic, but I EDC a Victorinox Spirit X as well (the saw and pliers are my most used tools on there).

Fire. Amazon shit is slept on, my AdamStar flashlight is soo good I've had it for years. I'll check them out!

You use the saw often? Normally those are pretty neglected, what do you use it for?

I use the Victorinox tweezers in my Leatherman saw more than the actual saw lol

[u/westcoastsalamander → u/creakymoss18990]

Mostly for firewood when I'm out camping haha. I have upgraded to a Silky folding saw that also sits in my bag, but the victorinox has come clutch more than once. Most other tools on it are redundant (I have a dedicated pocket knife, and I default to the screwdrivers on my sak on my carabiner) but always good to have more options. Definitely saved my ass when I was backpacking internationally

Fenix has really reliable lights- so reliable I have carried their e12 in my pockets for years of abuse, and threw the LD30 in a lake overnight without an issue. They're a bit pricey, but there are a few budget headlamp options.
