Types of knives

• Pocket: Space-saving when the blade is not in use; ideal for hiking, backpacking or everyday tasks
• Fixed-blade: Stronger, heftier and more comfortable in hand; weighs more and requires a sheath for safe carry
• Keychain: Can be carried anywhere, but lacks the strength of larger options

Key features

• Locking blade: The blade folds down for protected carrying, but locks into place when opened to prevent accidental closure when using
• One-handed opening: The folding mechanism makes it easy to push the knife open with your thumb

Choosing a multi-tool 

• Most include essentials like blades, screwdrivers, scissors and bottle openers
• Some have activity-specific gadgets
• May include one or more blades

• Choose a smaller one for backpacking; larger ones work for car camping

Choose a category

• Cargo roof box: Offers the most capacity and easy access to trunk; ideal for longer items like skis or odd-shaped loose gear; requires lifting gear overhead
• Hitch cargo box: Easier to load and unload, more aerodynamic than roof options, but may limit access to your trunk
• Cargo roof basket: An affordable option when hauling bulky items that can’t neatly fit inside a contained cargo box, like camp chairs
• Cargo roof bag: Soft-sided affordable option that doesn't require a car roof rack; can be folded and stored when not in use

What size will you need?

Consider who and what you will be hauling, as well as the vehicle hauling it with.

• Length: If you plan on carrying skis or lengthy items, consider a box that's at least 6 feet long. Otherwise, a length between 4 to 6 feet will work just fine
• Gear capacity: Smaller boxes work well for solo travelers or two-person trips, while families may need a larger box
