He likes to have a multi-tool that can handle more situations. My friend Pete, on the other hand, likes to go on week long trips and almost always with other people. Having survival tools with me gives my wife some piece of mind when I’m off on one of my excursions. I might not go too far off the trails, but I do tend to do a lot of solo backpacking. Just the bare necessities, with some survival tools thrown in. In my case, I’m not needing a multi-tool with a huge variety of tools.
I’m not much of an ultra lightweight backpacker, and I don’t typically go on trips longer than a couple of days or too far off the beaten path. What I need in a multi-tool could be vastly different from what you need. That’s why it’s important to figure out what functions of a multi-tool are most important to the type of backpacking you do. You want to be prepared for any situation, but you don’t want to be bogged down from the weight of extra tools that you’ll never use. That’s why the next section is also extremely important for backpacking multi-tools. However, there are tons of multi-tools out there that have a bunch of tools and gadgets that you would never need when backpacking, and all they do is add unnecessary bulk and weight. You only want to take the bare essentials with you and every tool that you load into your pack means less room for food, water and shelter.īringing a multi-tool, instead of multiple individual tools, allows you to have a wide variety of functionality in one small light weight package.
When it comes to backpacking, every ounce in your pack counts.
