Rough Camping & Survival Tips
My personal knives on camp with the youth groups are unintentionally being damaged by them.....
Rather than buying a cheap camp knife for them to use and maybe break, I went the DIY route....
I got a Big bladed tough spring steel carbon LASHER panga/machete at the Agri -store for R116...USD 6.
I then cut out 2 x custom self designed blades ,one still with the original handle, and other blade will get a wooden handle.
Now we have 2 X nearly indestructible practical youth camp knives for the price of one!
They can now at will dig with it, use it as tent pens, build shelter, chop light branches, make fire, use as n spoon to stir the stew/pap etc., peg it in a tree, carve wood, cut meat, sharpen sticks/spear, kitchen knife uses etc ,etc.....
Back home just a wash and a hand file to quickly sharpen them again, and these sturdy knives are ready to go the next batch of adventurous youths at the next camp again!
My personal camp knife now stay in my possession!

Thanks again for your support on the Rhodesian Shotgun thread. From the amount of "LIKES" it received, it appears there was only ONE person who objected. Hes also the same one who continually insisted on interjecting his posts that werent relevant to the thread.
