Camping Knives and Camping AxesWhen your looking for Camping Knives and Camping Axes look for the Camping Bad Axe that is made of medium carbon steel, over 2mm thick and fully heat treated for strength. The edges of the Bad Axe have been factory honed to a sharp utility edge that can very easily be brought up to razor sharpness without too much effort.

The twin edge design offers double the cutting potential. When one edge begins to dull the other is razor sharp. Plus the axe cuts in either direction. It has all the necessary weight for serious chopping, and for target throwing, it’s remarkable! With all its points and cutting surfaces, it will stick in virtually any position.

Check out all camping knives and camping axes that we found at HealthyHikerGear.com.


Getting Clean

shower.jpgThe best purchase that I have made to improve my camping experience is definitely the portable shower.  It light and compact and makes for an exhilarating experience when you are out in the woods.  I just couldn’t stand that really grimy feeling of being someplace and not able to rinse off.

And if you have been camping without any clear water around you, you can certainly understand what I mean.  There is always a better way of doing something you have been doing for a long time, and this is one of those things that will be a part of any camping pack that I take with me out into the woods.

Nobody wants to go camping and get sick or injured.  We each have a life that is waiting for us at home, and camping will not change what you have to get done on Monday.  Find the right camping gear that suits your purposes.

Camping Knives

CAMPING KNIVESCamping Knives are a necessary and important part of your outdoor camping gear.

Any camping knife should be made of quality steel and be able to hold a sharp edge. Poor knife quality means having your camping knives break when you need it most.

Two important factors concerning camping knives are: they should be kept clean and sharp at all times, and be handled with great respect for safety. A dull knife is a dangerous instrument. I usually ends up cutting you instead of what you want it to cut. It is a good idea to learn how to properly sharpen all your knives, from pocket knives to folding knives, including straight edge knives.

This is how you sharpen your camping knives. Start with a fine grit stone and a small bottle of honing oil or just use water. Place a few drops of oil or water on your stone and then draw your knife gently across the surface at about a 20º angle. Repeat this slicing motion for both sides, being sure to draw the entire length of the blade across the stone. Gradually reduce the pressure slightly with each stroke until you a sharp edge to your knife. A well cared for knife will not require many strokes to get a sharp edge.

Now that you have a sharp knife you need to be even more careful when handling it.
