Yes! Get yourself one! You definitely need it...
Anything cob.
My fishing pipe is normally a MM I buy local, stapled to a cardboard advertisement for about $5

Any corn cob is a great light weight and care free choice. They'll last a long time if you don't smoke them too hot. Don't have to worry if you lose it.
The Maxpedition pouches are extremely well made and perfect for today's outdoor activities compared to the traditional leather pouches.

Of Course, Cob is Nice Choice!
But I recommend Cob rather than Briar.
It's hard, so you can just throw it in your bag, and you don't have to worry about breaking it.
If you are worried about the tenon breaking down,
it is also a good idea to separate the stem from the stummel and put it in the bag.
I sometimes go fishing for 2 days, and I bring the briar pipes for less than 100 dollars.
When a lot of fish is bite, they wait for me with the wet ash and tobacco.
In Korea, pipes that are used in harsh environment are called 'pipes for Combat'.

MM Diplomat and oddly enough, paired with an old Denmark factory made Stanwell circa 1989 with Military mount —- reason being the inexpensive MM black plastic stems fit the Stanwell!
So on an outing, both pipes share one stem and disassembled take up no space at all. Further, it keeps my original Stanwell stem pristine. I love that replacement MM stems at .50 cents each fit that Stanwell and I can really enjoy that pipe while chewing away on a .50 cent stem without a care in the world.
I just enjoyed Ham Radio Field day and this pairing along with a large thermos of hot coffee got me through an enjoyable all nighter.

MM Freehand is my choice of cob for out and about. It has a nice tall bowl, easy to clench and if filled completely it gives quite the long smoke.
Brigham 'Sportsman' pipes are also decent - good quality Briar, rusticated or natural finish. Quite sturdy and fairly cheap. The only issue is you need to carry a pack of those maple filters.

As many have said, cobs are a clear choice. Also, MM sells very inexpensive hardwood pipes that are very lightweight good smokers. Last time I was trout fishing in North Georgia, I picked up a couple at the checkout counter at Betty's Country Store in Helen. If your hands are otherwise occupied, a lightweight clencher is nice.
I usually take my Norther Briars bamboo billiard. It is a pipe made by Ian Walker before Northern Briars became a high-end artisan brand. It is a good honest pipe, rusticated and with a rather rough finish on the bamboo and stem, but it has heaps of character and smokes like a champ. It is a pipe that was meant to be used, not babied, so that's what I do.
When I am out enjoying the Wilderness Fishing Hiking Camping.
I usually have a couple Corn Cobbs in my pack. But A few months ago I purchased a Morgan Bones pipe. That is the one I take out with me most often now. It smokes great and if I lose it or some how manage to brake it in half. No big deal, I think I payed about 40 Dollars for it.
