I Will Survive! What Two Edged Tools/Weapons Will You Choose?

We all have survival instincts….some more than others. I would like to hear from my fellow iKC members what two edged tools and or weapons you would choose to face the unthinkable, say on December 22^nd, 2012. The problem presented is you are limited on what you can carry to survive. Your situation is as follows:

You are on the move with family and or friends. You have vehicle transportation but everyone knows the gasoline will run out. So it is a real possibility you will be packing everything you need on your back.

You are presently in the Kansas City metropolitan area and have plans to migrate to a safer area near Fredericksburg Texas where your Uncle has a 160 acre farm. Your two vehicle caravan has enough gasoline to make it to around the northern Oklahoma boarder if you drive down I-35. I-35 is known to be dangerous so you may want to take the back roads foraging for supplies and gasoline.

What two edged tools or weapons would you take? Now justify your choices?

It is given you will take a firearm or firearms, supplies and trading material. To our European family….it was a bad time to visit us in Kansas City and your along for the ride. Your in the USA so you have everything, big and small, all at your fingertips. Also, people in Fredericksburg speak lower German so you may be able to communicate with them without English.

This will be fun. No Jan you and your lesser half can not take all those very nice collectable knives. LOL!

Jan...

This is the United Cutlery "The Expendables" Bowie. Gil Hibben makes the real one at $1,600 each and United Cutlery makes the common folk version for around $80. Gil Hibben made the first Rambo knife and the next two as well. Gil's knives are well over priced for what you get. You can get an excellent large chopper for a third of the price.

This knife is in the issue coming out the first of July about the Expendables. I coined the phrase "copper jacketed dirt nap pills"....but in someone's editing it was put in the wrong part and sounds fairly dumb. The double page of the start of the article is the AXD 5.5. You can see it at: http://www.darrelralph.com/axdarchives.php Jan if you want one it will be $1,100. Sylvester Stallone had Darrell make a single one for him for his collection which was used in the movie by Jason Statham. Story goes Stallone showed Statham his knife collection and had him pick one out and it was the AXD 3D. You can buy the magazine and read all about it. Rent the movie as it is one of my favorite ones. The #2 Expendables will be out on 17th August.
