Cool! smile

But that Grizzly had emotional problems,......and was "thin skinned". laugh

Seriously though,....I thought that I would add a link I posted in another thread to a free online reading of one of his books, "How To Stay Alive In The Woods". It seems appropriate to add into this older thread. 285 pages and worth a read.

Thanks Tom (Vaught), for bringing THIS old thread to my attention.

Col. Whelen was an exceptionally skilled outdoorsman (based on the books of his I have read). Lots of Military experience.

Knowing you, you probably have Frances Gary Power's knife in your collection and you don't even know it. grin


Bradford Angier mentions in one of his books that Col Townsend preferred a blade shorter than 6" so my vote would be, it is Bradford's Randall knife.
