Buck Knives Offers Take-a-Hike Tips

Buck Knives, Inc., a widely-recognized global leader in the outdoors, hunting, and everyday carry (EDC) knife markets, knows that warmer days across America means more outdoors enthusiasts are getting outside. At the top of the list for many adventurers is taking a hike.

Buck Knives offers these tips for everyone heading out on a hike:

*Research routes and trails you wish to travel on, then plan accordingly. Many trails are now rated in difficulty and some trails and routes also require permits before you can hike there. Online research and contacting the local, state or federal agency that oversees the lands where the trail is located could help you determine the necessary details. Make plans now.

*Select the right footwear and socks. While some hiking trails are paved and can be mostly completed in casual footwear, many hiking trails in America require the hiker to select and wear sturdy hiking boots with lugged or aggressive soles. If you have hiking boots that have not been worn recently, try those on and ensure a proper fit before beginning a hike. Select the right socks also, and avoid mostly cotton socks. Nothing ruins a hike faster than a blister.

*Pack along water, snacks, rain gear, emergency items–and a knife. Compact folding knives, like Buck’s iconic 110 Folding Hunter, have been the top choice for many hikers since 1963. The 110 Folding Hunter can be carried in a sheath on the belt or easily placed in a pants pocket or daypack side pocket. Other knives to consider packing–these also fold and take up less space–are Buck’s popular 112 Ranger, 055 The 55 Knife, and the 110 Slim Pro TRX knife. The 112 Ranger comes with a sheath and the 110 Slim Pro TRX has a cerakoted pocket clip to aid with easy access.

CCRKBA: Australia Horrors Show Deadline Danger of Disarmament

The bloody rampage by a knife-wielding madman in Sydney, Australia over the weekend underscores the deadly danger of public disarmament in a nation whose restrictive gun control strategies are often envied by U.S. gun control advocates, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said.

A second mass stabbing at a church in western Sydney left four people injured, including a church bishop. The Monday attack occurred while the church service was live streaming. Police have taken that suspect into custody.

Six people were killed at a shopping mall Saturday before the killer, identified as Joel Cauchi of Queensland, was fatally shot by a police officer. CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb noted the irony of the scenario, where a man committing mayhem with a knife had to be stopped by a man armed with a gun.

“American gun prohibitionists frequently whine about the alleged ‘insanity’ represented by millions of private citizens who are legally armed in public,” Gottlieb observed. “True insanity is disarming the public, leaving them defenseless against madmen who attack without warning, and literally face no resistance from their victims.

“By contrast, Australia banned a wide array of firearms following the 1996 massacre in Port Arthur,” he recalled, “and carrying firearms in public, openly or concealed, is prohibited. One might suppose that after the events of this weekend, Australia will try to ban knives. Read more
