Memories from another Nutnfancy gear testing backpacking trip with friend Cr0cket20. Though taking place in mid June we ran into ten feet of snow as the elevation increases. We were favored with complete isolation in a beautiful alpine lake basin where we commenced the work of the camp with the tools on hand. Unexpectedly we were given an striking vision of a moonrise that set the stage for this memorable TNP gear adventure.///////////////////////////Music licensed to TNP from Jason Shaw.
Personally I believe not, kids in urban areas will still want to get at each other, and if they don’t do it with a knife, maybe it’ll be a shank, a pipe, a rounders bat, hell, they can even beat each other to death with bare hands. Many members of society used to carry Swiss army knives, Leatherman multi-tools etc, myself included, for odd jobs and such, now this is a crime thanks to our home office deciding knives are really bad and should be stopped. The ghetto youths of London will ignore the law and find ways to get around it, is this a lame and pointless law? Opinions please.
For example… I am going climbing, if my rope gets caught in something and it NEEDS to be cut, but I didn’t bring my knife because it is illegal, has that law not cost a life? Knife crime has not fallen since the law was introduced. In actual fact it has risen.
So should climbers, hikers, boy scouts (who taught me to use a knife sensibly when I was 10 years old), amateur sailors etc also be banned from using this important tool?
Some people have asked what kind of EDC pocketknife I use. I explain the “Hunter” in this video and why I use it. Bushcraft On Fire- www.yhwhswordoffaith.com
