In his situation I would almost certainly have been carrying at least two pieces of serious steel, probably at least one Busse (normally my Bony Active Duty) along with a RAT-3, RAT-7 or a JK Handmade custom. But you know what? Ralston wielding a cheap multi-tool and a steel will is a lot better than me wussing out with my Busse! I have to seriously question whether or not I'd have the stones to cut my own arm off!

But if I ever had to try I'd at least have an extraordinarily sharp, high quality knife to do it with! grin

BTW, I understand that most of the details of the film are true to his actual experiences.
