Trip to South America- now with follow up pics

That's totally awesome! That's great knowing your Busse's were used by the local guides! They probably laugh when 'Mericans show up with their crap knives- those guys probably know how to make em shave using old cardboard, I know some Mexicans who can show you how to really get a knife sharp with trash from the side of the road. These guys learned how to make do with what they have at hand and are amazing at it.

What is the 4-legged critter?
 
Great pics. Love to see Bussekin out being used. And it's good to hear how well they performed. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks for the pictures! I would be so proud to have the best knife in the group! It’s great to see the Infidu out in the wild like that. These are awesome pics. The scrapmax is also known as dat sharp knife at my house. It’s nice to see others learn the hard way, that the best knife at the sporting goods store... is not the best knife. Busse for the win!
 
Great pics !!!! Thank you for sharing :-)
Glad your trip went well :thumbsup::D
 
Based on the pic description of it being a 'Labba' the 4-legged critter is probably this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowland_paca

The lowland paca (Cuniculus paca), also known as the spotted paca, is a large rodent found in tropical and sub-tropical America, from East-Central Mexico to Northern Argentina. Introduced to Cuba, Bahamas, Jamaica and Hispaniola.[3]

The animal is called paca in most of its range, but tepezcuintle (original Aztec language name) in most of Mexico and Central America, pisquinte in northern Costa Rica, jaleb in the Yucatán peninsula, conejo pintado in Panama, guanta in Ecuador, majás or picuro in Peru, jochi pintado in Bolivia, and boruga,[4] tinajo,[5] or guartinaja in Colombia. It is also known as the gibnut in Belize, where it is prized as a game animal, labba in Guyana, lapa in Venezuela, and lappe on the island of Trinidad. Although lowland pacas are not in danger of being extinct, local extinctions have occurred due to habitat destructions.
