bigfoot2 member Registered: 09/17/06 Posts: 1432 Loc: Eugene , Oregon	Just got back from the Dunes hike with Jim Shaw. Good hike, GREAT food and good company! Jim ended up carrying twice as much cutting weight than i did...two pairs of scissors, one small bone handled flint knife and a tiny piece of sharp flint for "cutting and skinning"... probably about 8 ounces total. I had my trusty (razor sharp) CRKT pocket knife (3.4 ounces), not to mention my "rapier whit". I cut my steaks, Jim chewed his. To each his own. Whatever works for each person is the best method. If you feel comfortable, weight be damned, use what works for you!
