I am posting this in several groups.  I am ready for a new subject to write about.  I decided to ask my buds at IKC for suggestions.  So give me some suggestions....even pink knives.  LOL!

I have one DPX Gear survival tool for sale at $169.00.   They go quickly.   The DPX Gear web site is out of them.  It is a solid knife.

Kent...

This is true outside the USA and in the USA.  Be careful in Canada and Mexico.  In Mexico you can buy auto knives but they are illegal.  Where I go I am not bothered by the local police as I am training them.  The philosophy in the 3rd World countries is different than here and Western Europe.  One rule of thumb....with the exception of the USA, If it use to be a British Colony then it is most likely illegal.  In Briton the 2 1/2 " knife blade must not lock open, must be manually pulled out with the fingers.  I had this told to me by the Metro Police in London as I was carrying a 4" lock bladed knife and had four more in my bag.  Professional courtesy prevailed.

I recognize the "Dangerous Places" logo from an old book of mine titled "Fielding's The World's Most Dangerous Places" by Robert Y. Pelton" 3rd edition 1998. This is a great survival guide for those who like to venture off the beaten path by visiting war torn, dangerous and often third world countries without the wife and kids.

The DPx looks like a great knife however it is advisable to check out the knife laws of any country you plan on visiting. I had been traveling through Alaska, Mexico, New Zealand and other places during the early '90's while wearing my Buck 110 lockback. When I was in Australia some of the locals were kind enough to warn me that I could be arrested for carrying such a knife. So much for Crocodile Dundee, eh mate? 

Mind you this was at a time when their government was far more lenient about such things and prior to their passing laws prohibiting gun ownership.

Incidentally, I understand crime has gone up 47% since making guns illegal for the honest citizen. Government officials are at a loss as to why?

Sometimes the most dangerous places you can visit is due to their government.

Gary...

I have not had one of the DPx (Dangerous Places) knives for review. I would be interested in receiving a sample for review by my team and maybe take it on my next adventure...hopefully soon. 

ESEE (formerly RAT Cutlery)  DPX HEST 2.0 is a liner lock which is the first form of lock blade some 200 + years ago.  DPX is DPx for Dangerous Places and HEST is Hostile Environment Survival Tool.  $259.99, buy one from my buddies at Blade HQ.com for $175.00 shipped.  The DPx HEST 2.0 is the forerunner and seriously improved over the original DPx HEST and a high end folding knife.  Too expensive for most military personnel and all but the most hardened knife lover Cops.  Thanks Gary.

Gary....

Good suggestion Gary.  I am going the Barnes and Noble on my round-about in town and check it out.

I just got a book in "The Pocket Disaster Survival Guide".  It is informative and addresses natural and man-made disasters.  Hurricanes, floods, tarnadoes, earthquakes, terror attacts, winter storms, wildfires, chemical emergencies.

Robert.... Natural disasters are just one thing we need to accept.  Mother Nature rules and reminds us from time to time.  Being prepared is only being smart.  Have a plan such as when a disaster strikes the family and loved ones will rally at a point determined to be the safest and where the water, food and weapons are staged.  Have water and food supply for seven days for those who will arrive.  Expect a couple of extras tagging along.  Trying times are coming.

We seem to be in a period of world history when there is alot of natural disasters, I think people should take notice and prepare for their turn at what nature brings.
