Epic Wal-Mart Find

Camillus Carnivore X

I have to admit, these days I seem to find myself venturing back into the outdoor section at the local Wal-Mart, and today, I found something that completely caught my attention.

I have been debating getting a machete type blade for a while now, but I am still very new to this whole bush crafting, outdoor space and I wasn't interested in spending tons of money on supplies.  I had seen the really cheap stuff at places like Harbor Freight, but I owned something similar and knew it wasn't up to the challenges I was seeing online or had in mind.  I was also eyeing some of the Gerber blades I had seen at Home Depot and a few other stores... Maybe they were the way to go?  I had always loved my other Gerber products..... but then I stumbled across something that I hadn't seen yet. And once I laid eyes on it, I knew I was gonna have a hard time walking away.

Camillus Blades makes a version of the machete, that quite frankly just looks epic!

This is the Camillus Carnivore X.  It is one bad looking machete with a saw blade and gut hook feature on the back of the blade.  It comes with a small caping knife that doubles as a spear point and has a few integrated socket heads in the handle if you needed to try and loosen a nut or bolt that was the correct size.

In the video embedded below I take a look at the features out of the box and give my two cents on this blade having just messed around with it in the shop.  Quick version, I am very happy with the feel of this blade and for less that $35 I think its a great addition to my camping and outdoor resources.

I am going to be workin on some modifications to the system and plan to update this post when I do.  Right now in my mind I am looking at that wonderful sheath and debating some sort of a paracord warp with maybe some mini survival kit features added for the fun of it.  We will see what I can come up with!  

If you watched the video, I wonder what your thoughts are about my observation with the saw blade on the back of this thing. Comment down below and share, I'd love to hear your thoughts. 

Find some time to get yourself out in the beautiful nature that surrounds us.  There is a wonderful world just waiting to be explored and you just might find that......
