Probably my most used combo. Not sure if they meet the true criteria of a Nessmuk Trio, but they work for me and can handle most things. GB Hatchet with an OS Ladyfinger and Babyboot. The Babyboot is often in my pocket as an EDC, taking the place of a folder for regular small tasks.
Second combo is what I’ve used more recently in the woods. Same hatchet (or sometimes a small forest axe), Production Kephart, and Lil Lady. The Pro-Kep shines for basic Bushcraft stuff, and the Lil Lady is ergonomically perfect for me to handle the finer tasks like shaving fatwood, cutting food, etc.
Admittedly, I have only used machetes when clearing brush and palmettos from my hunting trails. But swinging a hatchet is not my strongest skill either, except for splitting firewood. So this is a chance for me to really think about what I’d be able to effectively carry and use. Looking forward to seeing other folks’ ideas. Cool thread,

Toccoa, which is also very nice for the utility purposes mentioned above! Didn’t mean to leave you out, Russell!
