I don't want to be bothered. I only want to be alone on the island. I probably will be on foot. Gregory Brandt
Answer
Sound like my kina trip, ok? You know, my fav island for be alone, and camp for free gotta be Lanai, problem is, need car or jeep to get to best camp place, and NO surface fresh water there, ok? Molokai good too, got some good surface water, but some local not to happy to see haole on foot with backpack, and most beaches not gonna have water for drinking, less it a state beach, ok? If it a state beach, then suppose to have permit to camp, which cost money, ok? Remember, not lotta state or federal land hea Hawaii, mostly private, or watershed land, and lotta problem for local with tresspass onna private property, so expect to be hassled and have police call on you, ok? My suggest stay way from more populated islands, like Maui, Oahu, or even Kauai, go for Big Island, or Lanai, maybe be careful with Molokai, cause local there not real friendly with mainland person who just wanna bum round island, ok?
Peace and aloha to you!

what a good camping/outdoor knife and WHY?

Answer
Everybody has their own opinion on what makes a good camping and outdoor knife.
Some think that you need a multi-tool to fix gear. Frankly, I usually have one with me when I'm adventure camping, (specifically, a Leatherman Surge), to help with vehicle and gear repairs, but I don't carry one when camping or backpacking. But otherwise I find they are too bulky and heavy on my belt to carry when hiking and backpacking. I could keep a multi-tool in my pack, but then what good would it do me if I am separated from my pack when I need it? And, in the woods, most of the tools (and therefore, weight) on a multi-tool provide no benefit, unless you are driving a Jeep, quad or other off-road vehicle, (and even then, I'd prefer real hand tools to a multi-tool).
Others believe a good camping/outdoor knife should be a medium fixed-blade knife capable of chopping and batoning wood for shelter and fire in an emergency. Something like a Short Ka-Bar, Ontario RAT-5 or Gerber LMF-II fixed-blade knife. My problem with this is the same as a multi-tool: it is not comfortable to keep on my belt, and so it's effectiveness as a survival tool is lost if I'm separated from my pack.
Most hikers and backpackers go with something that's easily carried in their pocket but can provide some basic necessities beyond a good knife blade. A Swiss Army Knife fills this bill nicely, as does some of the smaller Leatherman multi-tools. Things like a toothpick and tweezers see a lot more use than files and screwdrivers on the trails.
Ultimately you need to decide what your philosophy will be on knife carry. I developed mine through 35 years of backpacking, hiking, camping, off-roading and daily carry. Throughout this process I've collected about 30 different knives and multi-tools. The one I carry every day, to the office and to the woods, is a Victorinox Swiss Army Compact.
