Coach what kind of knife do you have? I have read that many suggest two. A folding knife and also a fixed blade. I have a tactical tanto from TacOps but am looking for a smaller folding knife and fixed blade. As for the folding knife I really like the Kershaw Leek."Nobody listens to Turtle."-Turtlesigpic

Edit: if you have a tanto you don't want a pup. The seal team elite is pretty bad a.Last edited by old_gregg; 04-17-2011, 02:20 PM.Te Occidere Possunt Sed Te Edere Non Possunt Nefas Est.

I have a Spyderco Meadowlark folder that I keep with me when not traveling or I haven't misplaced it. I have two fixies in the bag, one is an older Ka-Bar last ditch and the other is a Hunting Knife, name escapes me right now.

Thank you for this thread, surfah. I have been thinking about getting somethings together and this thread will be a valuable resource. Thanks for the contributions of many...especially Coach.I'm your huckleberry.

Originally posted by FN Phat View PostI have the same TacOps folding knife that Surfah has x2. I also have a Spyderco folding knife but I would like to get a fixed blade or two. Throw out a name or two that I can research.
There are many great brands, of which Cam named Ka-Bar and S.O.G.
both these are really good knives for relative affordability (read <$200)
If you want to get crazy give the combat knives at Benchmade or MercWorx a look. They both can get up over $650 for a knife.
as for me, at $400, I am buying things that shoot projectiles.

I have a basic 72 hour kit with some extra food. I figured I'd just take my shotgun with me if things get scary but some sort of handgun would probably be smart as well. Coach had a lot of good suggestions and I think I will follow his lead and get some more stuff.
I keep two five gallon cans of gas around and have an Can-Am Outlander 650 XT, a Suzuki DRZ400, and an old Yamaha DT 175. Any of the three will fit in the bed of my Titan so I will choose whatever I think is best and if necessary, get out of dodge.
