I always carry my leatherman with me – never know when you might need it – e.g. to tighten a screw in an old asbestos hut on the overland track, open a bottle of wine at the pines or to cut your nails :) you could even use it to clamp a severed artery – but I can’t say I’ve ever tried that. Pocket knives are also really handy when your climbing buddy, whom you met on the net, turns out to be a psycho :) |
