>>2659357>>2658689I've needed my leatherman on camping trips with boy scouts and in military exercises when constructing structures for reconnaissance outposts, repairing equipment, maintaining my service rifle etc.
I have also used the pliers of my leatherman to remove a thorn from the bottom of my foot after walking around the campsite barefooted after a day of hiking. Why barefooted, you ask, that's because I like to give some air to my feet every once in a while. I have also used my leatherman for removing the hook from the mouth of the fish.
When I go bicycle camping I keep a leatherman with me as well, (- when combined with few wrenches -) it means I can fix about any issue on my bicycle.
I know all of those things could have been done with separate pliers, but they actually tend to take too much room because you generally can't fold them in to a smaller package. It's just easier to find room for a multitool than to dedicated pair of pliers.
I always carry a good solid batonable knife, a leatherman and a flashlight (one with good throw for being able to spot something further away) when I am out and about. Let it be hiking, boyscout activities or military rehearsals.
In my opinion the multitool is just as useless as the person that owns it. If you can't do jackshit, then don't expect miracles from a multitool either.
