Looks great! Those pics are well taken, and I like how they are all together on the page!
 
Oh i love the close up of the grey Izula and the lil gator, and the pink Izula with (i would assume) a real Izula on it :D
 
I am working on it...
How many different brand of knives went of the trip,I see Mike with a BK11 Becker Necker...
 
Saw alot of RATs, and that becker, and the lone wolf, and the breeden, and the JKs, and a bladetech folder, along with a load of chetes.... Quite the cutlery buffet!!

TTD- I have no doubt you are. Therepry is an uphill battle, keep it up bro!!
 
It's a pretty amazing experience if you've never done anything like this before. Different culture, different environment and serious training. You'll come home looking at survival knife use in a whole new light ;)

On this last trip the show's host (the guy we trained) lost his machete once we turned him loose in the jungle without us. We had given him a pretty simple 3-leg jungle course when we inserted him into the jungle and if he followed that then he would cross a road late the next day and we would pick him up. It was about a 12 kilometer course. The only bad part about the course is it took him through a few creek crossings. He managed to fall into one and lose his machete. But he used his training and made a beater stick to travel the rest of the way. The other issue he had is he admitted after he got out that he doubted his compass on one of the legs and almost panicked. Again, he calmed down (I had really stressed to him not to panic no matter what happened), took out his pocket survival kit that we supplied him with and compared the Ranger compass to the button compass in the kit and found out they were both pointing the same way. He made it out. In fact, they hit the road within 300 meters of where they were suppose to be.
 
It is something Ive always wanted to see. It looks like a wonderfull experiance, and I cant wait to get down there with you guys.

I am glad he got his head together, and was able to solve his nav problem. It sucks bout the chete though, but at least he was able to overcome his problem, and create a solution to it. That is what survival is all about.
 
Funny thing is he had an RC-6 with him also but said he thought it was "too small" to use to cut stuff with in the jungle. Go Figure.
 
Sounds like an interesting adventure....I personally never taken any survival training.I have read different books and practiced some stuff but never had a situation where I actually needed it or had to apply it for a true emergency. I know my weakness and need to work on those skills.Looking forward to next year and doing all I can to try to make the trip.
Question ,the weather/humidity how do you guys(who have been on the RAT adventure) protect your digital cameras?

Wow, you gotta be kiddin me. Thats plenty of knife IMO.

Good question on the cameras tony.....
 
Blade-Tech folder: None better for what we do.

Cameras: The humidity trashed a pro video camera that BNN was using. They had to go to their backup. Personally, I have NEVER had a problem with still or video cameras. The secret is let them breathe. Most folks want to seal them up to try and keep the moisture out and that's the wrong thing to do.
