>>605600>Two is one, one is none.If you live by this rule, don't you think it's more important to have proper tools than just having two of everything?
How about a small Bic and Victorinox Waiter? Costs about 10 bucks and weighs practically nothing. There you have a better knife and a firestarter that works.
>Two is oneOnly when both two count as one. If the redundant tool is crap you effectively have one and that's, you said it yourself, none.
>>605587>Multitools do a sub par job at doing everything.Exactly. They're folding pliers with extra. That extra doesn't count as redundancy, especially in the case of "Signal".
