    I had both the Mark 1 boot knife and the Mark II as a pair during my Army service in the 1970s thru 1988 when they were stolen from me. I managed to replace the Mark II in 1988 with the same model you have and I still have it today. It too has been well used but is still in good nick. I managed to find a Mark1 boot knife a few years ago and still have that as well. Great knives although I preferred the earlier models' leather sheaths.

    Those H&R revolvers are fine guns that do not deserve the Cheap Reputation. Let s talk about H&R. Did they not create the hammer block safety? I have a Model 158 Topper in 30-30 that has been taking deer since 1984. Fantastic woods rifle. I have a SHIKARI rifle in 45-70, a Huntsman .45 cal muzzle loader, several shotguns and yes, 3 revolvers ! My snake gun while fishing is a model 930 , 9 shot .22lr. revolver. I have carried it for 30 years and can shoot it quite well. The only folks who disrespect H&R are those who have never owned one. I love all of mine and soul love to have one of those .32 cal versions as well. I would have zero issue carrying one for defense. And yes, I have Glocks, Sig, Beretta, Steyr etc, but I am a bit eccentric.

    The military created these as predominantly an escape tool. Scaled up from the USAF survival knife. Anchor point for waterborne tactics. Lastly perhaps a weapon. Training across SOG groups would proscribe carrying a much smaller folder for camp tasks. Additionally since WW2 there is very little “campsite” protocol in US military doctrine. We hit unexpectedly. Overwhelming firepower. Immediate evac.

    For anybody wondering about "The End of the World" drama surrounding 1999/2000 I suggest watching NBC's "Ancient Prophecies" 1 hr specials. I believe there are four or five of them. Some of those prophecies are way over the top, and none of them have come to pass. The specials are posted by VHS aficionados on KZread.

    We own the .25acp model, currently our EDC (don't want to get into the pros/cons of that right now)...I saw one of these several months ago in a pawn shop, and I seriously thought about buying it...the .22 short is the poster child for weakness, but at that it still beats nothing...these guns like regular (1080fps) ammo or (1105fps) hollow points (which will never expand, never), and tend to choke on CB shorts, just not enough oomph...the interest in the .22 short model comes from how much cheaper .22 short is compared to .25acp, which would be more often range time for a fun gun to shoot...we carry ours hammer down instead of cocked and locked, trusting the inertia firing pin...these are surprisingly very well made firearms, reliable (keep the .22 clean, it will run forever), and extremely easy to carry (we're seniors, small, lightweight, low recoil mean something to us)...that .22 short on the wishlist, but down the list a good ways...buy a box of shorts and enjoy that gun...

    Great video. I chose to wire my interior lights to my 4 flat on my trucks wiring harness so it only works when my marker\headlights are on. I haven’t used a 4 flat in decades so it’s perfect. The reason I recommend this is because if you accidentally leave your topper lights on, your truck will automatically shut them off. If you plan to camp in the back of your camper just get a cheap head lamp or something else to light it up. I’d rather not have to worry about a dead battery and stranded. Your 4 flat is also already fused protected into your trucks fuse box.

    it was the gerber MK-1' non serrated version that was the legendary , the MK-2' serrated knife was a bit of a let down in sales and they talk about it like no 1' ever seen it , and far more superior to the limey f/s codo knife and gerbers were never issue , they were always a private purchase blade mostly from the spec op's spook units

    The Mark I was the shorter bladed boot knife with a 4.75" blade. As I recall in order from smallest to largest it was the Guardian, Mark I and Mark II but the Mark II was first. I think sometime in the mid to late 70s they added the serrations to be able to call it a 'survival' knife as the military PX, AAFES, etc., no longer wanted to sell them as they were too scary or something. So I believe Al Mar came up with the serration idea (he was working at Gerber at the time as a designer) so they could change it from a fighting knife to a survival knife. Thanks for watching!!
