I carry a folder with me as is. Just habit. More for opening/breaking down cardboard boxes, cutting the twine on bales of hay, letter opener etc.
I also carry a large fixed blade. It is a now no longer made Becker Machax. Good sized, has heft. Looks tacti-cool but it is a farm tool. I use it on a regular basis for cutting down small trees and limbs. The sheath is really nice, comfortable.
One season we had a coy that took a few chickens. I would catch glimpses of it here and there. Took a .22 rifle out with me. Yeah, trying to work with it slung across my back, not a real thing.
