I've got a DC4 that seems just a little too large to slip into my pocket. I've got one of Shep's great field sharpening kits to put in a bag, but would like to try the smaller DC3 for more of an everyday carry to have along with my SAK.
That's a fascinating story, and probably a good message to send out to most who dream of a Walden-like life of living off the land: it's tough. With regards to living away from large communities, there's something referred to as 'Dunbar's number' which is the number of people individuals can...
