That said, not all knives are created equal. This means you need to know just what to look for.
“You need a durable, comfortable knife,” Dobson says. “And I’m not talking about a Swiss Army knife.”

“Preferably, you want it to be lightweight and user-friendly,” Dobson says.
“In addition, make sure it is rugged with solid construction.”

To survive in the wild, you need matches and a lighter. And make sure both are waterproof.
“It gets cold in the wilderness, and it might get wet,” Dobson says. “This means you need to start a fire.”
And that’s not the only reason fire can be essential. Fire keeps away animals.
