I have two. Miniature shovels, no folding parts that rattle in your backpack, good for frogging. machetes, for campsite firewood and shelter, also for igloo snow block carving.
I was going to say that... my brain, I will need to out think the competition, and it will be a competition, much like a chess game, may have to sacrifice some pawns to win. Rancher

I would not use any other brand because of how I was, and have been treated by them, and the value this company puts in it's customers and the quality of it's products and its warranty! They gave me one of the very first of this tool and asked for my professional opinion of it, and after making changes to the design (which I had mentioned) they sent me and my entire squadron one of these tools for each and every one of us, and a really nice video disk from every one at the Leatherman Tool Company thanking us for our service, and wished us to keep the tools after our service ended, and like every tool they make, they stand behind them with out fail!!!
Indeed...and like any other tool, the brain must constantly be worked, sharpened and honed to a razor's edge so that it may be useful when needed...
The most significant survival advantage in my life, is God . Seeing to my needs, giving me guidance ,and guiding me in spite of my ignorance . I have had many events I know His intervention has taken place ,and has healed me over and over ,and answered my requests for the healing of others that have been put only heart/mind . I don't by any means manipulate God , however I do my best to find his direction ,even in simple things . . Be it in the woods on on the street , timing is every thing , and turning one way, or another, matter.
I got a kick from something I read a while ago (maybe it was Mickey Spillane?) along the lines of "There's not too many of life's little problems that can't be solved with Swiss Army knife and a thirty eight." Seems like the trick is to use them to take care of the things that your fingers alone can't handle, before they turn into bigger issues that need dedicated tools. Probably add a lighter, too, but everybody and their brother smoked back then, so it was a given you'd have a match on ya. Edited to add: Come to think of it, $20 bills have opened a lot of doors for us over the years, too.
