Disaster Scenario

[GIRLYmann]

If some type of disaster affected you (hurricane, fire, tornado, sink hole, theft, pissed off ex, what have you) and you lost all of your possessions, what knives would you purchase again immediately? ... For the sake of this scenario "immediately" means within a month or maybe two.

Firstly, my sympathies to all who had suffered losses due to any disaster.
It has to be difficult to come into grips with such a tragedy.
It would be essential to stay focus in order to plot
A way forward.
I certainly would hope that there be enough to rebuild.
No doubt tools would be one of the first things to have.
So it would have to be an axe, a heavy duty machete, and a pliertool.
Beggars can't be choosers, so I would be realistic enough to get
What I could possibly afford in such a situation.
I am not going to cringe and be thankful even if
The stuff is a cheap and brandless import which everyone loathes.

This is correct. I'm out here on the coast. High enough to not be washed out, but we still aren't going to have a working power grid, water, sewer, roads, etc... for a long, long time.

So I'm going to need you to send me a knife or two as soon as the post office opens back up.

Thinking about getting duplicates of my current favorites and sending them off to Navy Buddy so he can resupply me after the Cascadia Subduction Event.

Keep your fishin' gear handy.

Keep your fishin' gear handy.

For sure.

Long Beach Peninsula is in the way of the wave. Mayhap I can pick up a couple knives whilst beachcombing afterward.

Be neat to have on of your titanium machete projects for the "tsunami box". I'll keep it next to the Top Ramen and propane cylinders.

I'd immediately get a Case sodbuster, Case trapper, Benchmade Griltiallian, Spyderco PM2, OKC RAT 1, OKC Rat 2, and Kershaw Skyline.
PS and 2 Moras in both carbon and stainless.

On the coast you need a chain saw and a lot of fuel to cut your way through the downed trees to get to the resupply! Even in Seattle area we will have cut our way out of some places. Make you have stockpiles.
