Good Luck Buddy. It's the best training school I have been through in my Military career. I went through the school at Fairchild back a few years ago. You don't need to know anything before you go, it will only make the experience better. If someone offers you information or gouge, don't bother. The fact that your a blank slate and get trauma is part of what ingrains it in your memory. Probably the best part of the training. My only suggestion is to bring the gear you would realistically wear in the field. I wore the exact stuff I would be wearing if I ever find myself in a SERE situation. Bag, Flight boots, and they provided the survival vest and ruck that would hopefully be in your aircraft survival kit. If your comfortable surviving in a real type scenario then that's all the better for you. A lot of dudes wore BDU's because they are more comfortable and 2 peices, but I personally think your shorting yourself a little if you do that. Bring a flashlight with green and red lens (preferably a headlamp for use of your hands). Red is great for night evasion. Other than that a good knife and some camping TP. Really just the same type crap you are used to for a overnight camp. Someone in my group brought a few bullion cubes for Thumper. It helped a little for the flavor. Hot Sauce might help as well. Immodium might help you keep from crapping while in uncomfortable situations. Good sunglasses and hot weather undershirts. Thats all I can think of right now. Let us know how it goes!

It's amazing how quick your impression of a good knife distorts as you handle nicer and nicer knives. I was laughing today about how a year ago I thought anything over a $50 knife was a waste, but knowing a miniscule fraction more now than then I've shifted my perspective. I still think the classic Ka-bar is a nifty looking Pig Sticker, too bad its a USMC knife(sorry jarheads) P.S. - sorry for getting off Topic U have any intentions of wrapping the handle or just leave it naked?

Love that Upper, did you paint in the lettering on your lower? I'm thinking about doing that on my current build

I hear that, I'm not too big a fan of the Resiprene C handles after handling some G10 and Micarta, but the old Scrapyard was my intro to Bussekin. I feel like if I had to rate them in order of quality it'd definitely be Busse Combat with Swamp Rat in a very very tight second then Scrap Yard. The finish on the Ratmandu blade and handle seem much nicer than the Scrap Yard. All three are shaving sharp from the shop. I'm pretty much addicted. I spend my spare time thinking of ways I can put these knives to good use and not feel guilty for using a $400 knife.

Welp, The knife was waiting for me when I got home. I totally dig the handle on this baby. I have completed my trifecta of BusseKin knives, now to expand on my INFI collection. Maybe a Boss Jack next?

Very Purdy, I dig the coloring

Damn, that was hilarious. I wanna buy that guy a beer. I love guns with ducktails on them and lithium sights.

Awesome. I need to decide whether to use my new Ratmandu when i go Turkey Hunting or the SAR6? Seriously though, I laughed when I first started looking at knives and their prices. I thought 100 was way to much for a knife. Now the BUG has taken over. So much for that limit

Maybe I should just have my check go straight to Busse? Might make it easier and just have them send whatever they got when it arrives! Willis, I'm pretty excited to get it. Now I just need to find something worth using it on.

Hmph, I think I copied you. Is that the Black/Tan G10? O and how quick did the sucker come, I was hoping to be home from out of town by the time it gets here but if its too quick I might not be.

Welp, Did it, ordered the SAR-6 in Black/Tan G-10 with an Armoralleather Sheath. A bit of a blow to the wallet but I just have to have this knife. It's a beaut. I have now completed my trifecta of BusseKin knives. So far I have one from each company. I have a feeling that wont last though. Now the challenge is intercepting the mail before my wife

I don't think its a Tsunami he's really worried about. Don't forget Memphis and St. Louis are on the New Mardid fault that will most likely completely destroy both cities when the earthquake comes. It's not a matter of IF but WHEN. It will come and I pray none of my family is there because its going to be really ugly. As for the water link: Basic 25 Gallon Boxed Water Kit Maybe that link will work better. Its in the water section and called the 25 Gallon Boxed Water Kit. Hope that helps.

Got my Swamp Rat Ratmandu in the mail today. I Love it. Perfect size for a fixed blade carry knife. The SAR 6 is my next knife. So far I've done a Scrap Yard to a Swamp Rat and now I gotsa get some of that INFI steel.

Anyone in the Knoxville area know where to pick up large amounts of beans and wheat and things other than Rice. Rice is easy to find in bulk bags, but I'm just not sure where to get some beans and other ingredients to stock in my SP
