For survival in the wild, I would rather bring a machete. Here’s why:
Versatility: A machete excels at clearing dense brush, chopping wood for shelter or fire, and even processing food.
Reach: Its longer blade offers better reach and leverage for cutting tasks.
Durability: Machetes are generally sturdier for heavy-duty work compared to most Bowie knives.
A Bowie knife, while excellent for precision tasks, hunting, and self-defense, is less efficient for large-scale clearing or chopping. For comprehensive survival needs, a machete tends to be more practical.
