Tom Brown was my idol when I was a teenager. Growing up in the Sonoran Desert of Southern Arizona, I read all of his books and practiced his techniques every chance I could. I’ve used those skills I learned from him to be a hunting guide, wilderness instructor, and search and rescue volunteer. They have saved my life many times, as well as those who I’ve been called upon to help find. I owe an awful lot to him.

TOPS makes some very capable outdoor, survival, military knives. I have 3 or 4 of TOPS knives and while I'm notnan outdoor person, I keep them in the back seat storage compartment in my pick up truck as emergency tools/emergency weapons. they are about enough to really take hard use, well thought out enough to actually function.
