You know if you want your first camping experience to be full of fun, excitement and adventure all you need is a robust camping gear. Personally, my choice would be a light weight camping gear for cross country visits, bike packing, backpacking and touring other countries simply because of the convenience of use and as a savior of time and efforts.

Camping gear is camping equipment required to facilitate all your forest and mountain adventures. Over the past few decades there have been significant technological advances in fabrics including the use of material which is available in bulk in the wholesale market. Even metals have become lighter now .Tents, backpacks, bicycles, sleeping bags, boots, stoves and all the gear needed to have a good time in the wilderness are possible with this new technology.

It isn’t a big deal reducing your camping gear from 10 to 15 pounds, but certainly it makes huge difference to your trip in the sense that it becomes easier and much more convenient to use your camping gears as according your requirements. Less weight certainly means more endurance and better chances to explore more in the wilderness.

Sleeping bags and parkas too have gone through significant changes. The light weight, water resistant bags are more comforting as compared to traditional sleep over’s. They are warmer from inside and if you still don’t understand try sleeping in wet bag you would know what I mean. Even tents are available in various assortments of shapes and sizes with features like light weightiness, water resistance etc.

Food products and cooking stoves are also essential for surviving in the wilderness. Cooking stoves have reduced weights so it’s easier to carry them whereas food products come as dehydrated, freeze dried products because the water soaked out of them so that they will become non perishable and provide convenience of use.

Camping gears are quite affordable, certainly cheaper than the traditional ones. Other than the camping gears there are other amenities like flashlights, hatchets, knives, and protective storm cases which may be quite useful in dealing with wrath of situations.

There may be choices are many and you can very easily get a camping gear for your outdoor activities. Remember when you are out there you are in the in skirts of a potentially dangerous place so it’s better to be safe than not making through the next day.

My friend referred me to a site that is all about camping gear shops. Click Here and you will find the camping gear shops information they have put together. Which will help you become well informed on this topic.

Knife is a symbolic item. If you ever have survival experience in the woods, you will understand how important this tool is to keep you alive. It has long been the tool we rely on a lot to survive living, from the historical to the current modern eras.

A knife should be able to protect you well, build you a haven, and keep you alive. They should be multifunction.

Until around a hundred years ago, people would not go out from their house without a knife in their pocket or other hidden compartment. We see how much they utilize knife in living.

Imagine when you meet unanticipated situations while you are being in place you are not familiar with. In the town, this can simply mean a robber, a sick dog, or your long time rival who gets crazy in a sudden. In the forest, the need can be impressed more. You can meet any wild animals from poisonous snake to bear and tiger, while most of the time you will only need knife to scratch away bushes and build a shelter to sleep at night.

It is a simple fact that no one knife can have all the features needed. Every knife has its advantages and anyone using a knife will have to make his own decision as to what kind of things are important for him to have on his knife.

It is not only the extra features of the knife that matter, it is also the way the knife itself is crafted and what it is made of.

Today most people are looking for a knife to serve them when they are away in nature for a few days, or sometimes a few weeks. They need something that is very basic and that will provide them with the safety that it could potentially provide them in case something goes wrong.

What are outdoor activities in the nature that can be dangerous? Well, hiking, fishing, caving, scuba diving, camping, and climbing are some good examples where you may face unexpected danger.

Try and think of the environment you are going to be in as well as your needs. Sometimes someone does need to hunt with his knife, but does not need to prepare the food from the hunted animal. In some cases you will be walking through a jungle and you might want to use the knife to carve your way out of some thick bushes.

Knife is a major tool for survival in the wild nature. Make sure you know specifically which one to buy. Look for more information and reviews on Internet to start your search.

Peter Marker Damascus Folder: Being a fan of Peter Marker’s work, I snagged this puppy up real fast when I saw it come on sale on Bladeforums. Peter is one of the best values in Damasteel folders out there, bar none. He is a relatively low-key maker from Australia, and does some fantastic work.

Strider GB Folder Knife: The Strider GB is basically the same as the Strider AR, with the only difference being that it is a tanto blade instead of a spearpoint. This particular example of the GB has thinner liners than the older AR that I had, asStrider thinned them out in later releases. The balance is probably a bit better on the thin linered versions, but they don’t seem quite as solid - perhaps that’s just in my head.

Microtech Lightfoot LCC Knife: Greg Lightfoot is a famous and popular Canadian Knifemaker, member of the Canadian Knifemaker’s Guild, and all ’round cool guy. He lives on a farm in Alberta, and consequently also sells his designs to a select few production knife companies, Microtech being one of them. Microtech produces the Lightfoot LCC in both manual and dual action automatic versions.

Spyderco Cricket FRN C29 Knife: Since I reviewed the Ying Yang cricket I wasn’t going to review this FRN cricket, however this one is plain edged, and different enough I figured I would at least give a short review of it. The Cricket is definately one of the more popular ladies knives available, and due to the blade shape, works very well with textiles.

Mike Obenauf Small Model 2 Custom: This is a customized Model 2 Framelock from the now defunct Mike Obenauf. Though this knife is extremely similar to the other Model 2 framelock I reviewed last year, I felt that I should review it partly because Mike has also retired from knifemaking, and this peice is rather unique.

NUKO Key Fob Self Defense Tool: Hey Everyone! Today I would like to introduce a neat little companion that could give us all a little added advantage in this world we live in. I picked up this little number at The Lanyard Zone for about $30 Shipped anywhere in Canada and U.S.

Spyderco Vesuvius Knife C66PBK: The Spyderco Vesuvius is one of the few FRN handled Spydies to have a smooth contoured handle, which I really like. It is also designed by Frank Centofante, which I was a bit surprised about. The design is much more in-house looking to me, but either way, I love the look and feel!

Strider MSC RC Framelock Folder: Theres nothing like a custom Mick Strider RC folder to fill your palms when you need a no nonsense knife to peel potatoes, shave wood for kindling, dig a hole or protect yourself. This Mick Strider Custom (MSC) RC folder is a fanastic all-purpose tactical utility folder that does it all.

Tad Gear Titanium Dog Tags Knife: Jerzeedevil Dog Tags from Tadgear! This things are awesome. This run of the JD Titanium Dog Tags are the version 3.0 design recently released, and were commissioned for us by John Barker, knifemaker and fellow devil.

Chris Reeve Knives Large Regular Sebenza: I’ve owned a few Chris Reeve Knives (CRK) Sebenzas in my day, and have watched them go from ATS-34 Steel to BG42 and then CPM-S30V. I’ve also owned one of each in the past, and had the pleasure of carrying and using all three of them. The two models shown here are in BG-42 (Unique Graphic) and S30V (Regular), and are of the regular configuration (Not Classic).

Spyderco Pikal P’kal Knife C103: The Spyderco Pikal (or P’kal) C103GP is one of the newer MBC (Martial Blade Craft) knives from Spyderco, and is very unique in the way it looks. The knife is meant to be used in a icepick style grip with the edge in (towards yourself). The mechanics of why the knife is held that way make a lot of sense. This knife is pretty much good for self-defense and nothing else, however.

Darren Chard Damascus Ranger Knife: This is the first knife I bought from Darren, and started me on my road to collecting his knives. Darren was a member of the CKG at the time and I had found out about him on the CKG website. I remember feeling that his prices were very reasonable and that his work looked great. I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again:Darren is a perfectionist, and his work reflects that!

Zero Tolerance 0500 Mudd Folder: Couldn’t help myself with this beautiful folder. Soon as I saw it I had to have it! Its not every day you get find a Grant and Gavin Hawk knife made to this level of quality for the price that Zero Tolerance offers their folders at. There is no doubt in my mind that Zero Tolerance offers the best bang for buck as far as production folders are concerned on the market.

Klotzli Michael Walker ACC Knife: This was the second Klotzli knife I have ever owned, and is probably one of the tougher ones, if you can even say that about a Klotzli. They are very finely crafted Swiss Made knives, but very unlike their swiss Brethren, the Victorinox Swiss Army knives. These are lightweight tactical gents knives, leaning more towards gentleman than tactical.

Spyderco Blackhawk C24 Folding Knife: The Spyderco Blackhawk C24 is a very rare Spyderco of days gone by, and as you can see the example here is not in fantastic shape. I picked this up in a trade with a fellow from Russia. Don’t see these available very often at all, and probably bring in close to a couple hundred dollars when mint with the box if not more.

James McGowan Custom Mini-Chop Knife: The Mini-Chop was designed by my friend Norman Lee, and built by James McGowan of Ontario, Canada. This bad boy reminds me a bit of the little prybars and tools that Peter Atwood makes, which Norman is a fan of. I received this little knife as a present in the mail for Christmas from Norman, and it is a very cool knife indeed.
