TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

All climbers know of Hans Florine. Most famous for his speed records on El Cap, including The Nose with Alex Honnold, he is a bit of an icon in Yosemite Valley. Florine recently teamed up with knife company CRKT to design a line of lightweight climbing knives and tools that are perfect for any speed ascent or climbing adventure.

An essential piece of gear in any climber’s rack is a small knife. Weighing in at 0.6 oz, the super lightweight NIAD (Nose In A Day) folding climbing knife ($39.99, picture top) features a simple two-piece design–the stainless steel blade seats flush against the titanium frame and eliminates the need for a sheath or additional parts while climbing. At the end of the knife, you will find a lanyard loop as well as a carabiner loop–when the knife is hooked on your harness via a carabiner, the biner blocks it from accidentally opening and stabbing you in the leg or cutting your gear

Nice little knife. Like the multi-tool, too.
