When building a survival setup, what's your must-have multi-use tool? I'm leaning toward a good multitool or hatchet, but I'd like to hear what you carry and why it earns a permanent spot
 
Gotta go with a full-tang fixed-blade knife, it's way tougher than a multitool for chopping or prying, and you can handle finer work with it to, its the best all-arounder, hands down
 
I have one of these. I was flabberghasted to see what they are asking for them on Ebay.

A quality fixed-blade knife is my number one. It handles batoning, food prep, shelter building, and fire starting. After that, a good multitool covers everything else. Both together give you maximum versatility without much weight

Yeah a solid fixed-blade is hard to beat for durability and versatility. I'd probably still pack a multitool as backup for specific tasks, but the knife definitely earns that primary spot in any kit
