With a small size this makes us comfortable to use and also multi function in the use. Usually there is a survival knife that also contains some equipment such as scissors etc. activities, this knife is the right choice. <a href="https://www.lamnia.com/en/" rel="nofollow">For people who like to do outdoor</a>ziekienhttps://www.lamnia.com/en/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352166344614826568.post-28148278943180735882012-02-09T22:09:18.286-08:002012-02-09T22:09:18.286-08:00While climbing in Leavenworth a few years ago, I h...While climbing in Leavenworth a few years ago, I had a friend rappel over an overhang and get one of her hair braids stuck in her ATC. She couldn't pull it out, couldn't rappel any further and the combination of a heavy pack and no auto-block disabled her from trying to prusik back up the rope to free her hair. Someone finally had to rap down to her and saw her hair braid off with a knife. Now most people I know carry a knife on their harnesses that can be easily opened with one hand. My favorite is the Buck Redpoint knife.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352166344614826568.post-12044735379195302802012-02-08T06:41:40.581-08:002012-02-08T06:41:40.581-08:00Nice post!

When I stopped rolling I looked down to see that my knife (a Petzl Spatha) was open and that my down jacket had been diced. How I managed to avoid stabbing myself is a mystery. Now I always leave my knife in the pack on inside a jacket pocket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352166344614826568.post-84946678264497213162012-02-07T17:59:51.949-08:002012-02-07T17:59:51.949-08:00Not bring a knife on a roped climb?

After taking a non-conventional crevasse fall on the lower Kalhitna last May (I was actually pinned down in the crevasse with my pack crushing me. I was barely able to move my arms and could not self rescue as a result - if I had knife on my harness, I could have cut my back chest strap free and gotten myself free), I made a new vow: every time I rope up on a glacier: I'm bringing the knife on my pack straps. Scary way to learn that lesson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
