"Survival hatchets" are multi-use and fit in a backpack - handy for people on multi-day hikes or camping trips.

Not saying that excuses any crime, but I certainly would want to carry one of these for camping. I can't imagine anyone who would hitchhike extensively and not carry some kind of potential defense weapon, especially if it has multiple uses.
