Jusr ran across an old survival VCR tape called Bushtucker Man. The series is great and is narrated by a Major in the Australian Army whose job it is to spend 8 months a year travelling the northern Australian wilderness visiting Abos, learning their survival skills and finding, collecting, analyzing the edible plants and wildlife in the regions he visits. He travels by Land Rover, helicopter, canoe and by foot from the deserts, to the mountains to the swamps to the coast. How's that for a job? The knives he carries are just a stockman folder and an issue golok. With them he does all cutting & chopping tasks. Reminded me of the book "to Fight the Wild". This was about a young Aussie bull thrower (tough guy) who found himself marooned way deep in the Outback for months and how he survived. I found out from someone who knew him that his knives were a Russell skinner and butcher knife. In the book Ron Ansell talks about the knives and how he used them quite a lot. It is said that he was the model for Crocodlile Dundee.
