Three years of basecamp cooking
Jetboil Genesis Basecamp System
Excellent simmer control and clever nesting, with failed igniters and poor wind performance tempering an otherwise superb camp kitchen.
Two years of heavy work
Leatherman Surge

The carabiner, hammer and saw work; the tiny survival inserts and compromised combo blade do not justify what is missing.
1 month in the Laurentides
Benchmade Mini Bugout
Outstanding ultralight carry and slicey S30V geometry, held back by flexible scales, factory tuning and poor value.
3 months across Quebec
Kershaw Bel Air
A superbly thin MagnaCut blade and rigid 2.9 oz build, with excellent action but limited wet-weather traction.
