ive backpacked in europe a handful of times, and as long as youre smart about not flashing your knife around, you shouldnt run into any problems. that being said, a SAK or multitool should cause little to no problems if it happens to be seen by the authorities. sometimes being the "dumb american" can get you out of a whole mess load of trouble as well.

one time i was performing train-station surgery on an in-grown toenail in plain view of cabinierri (sp) with a SAK...i do believe their disgust overwhelmed the urge to bust the scary knife-wielding (and thus a danger to society) foreigner...so they gave me a look and a continued on their way.

what is the name of your sons band? you said sweden, i sure hope that means theyre a metal band <3

I hope I haven't misled you all, My son is in his late 30's. He is not going camping ( unless it is in some girls apartment ) He is not going to be carrying any knife. I am refering to a PSK that will be in his luggage. "BE PREPAIRED FOLKS" the bus or train might break down. got the Idea !

Your son will have to watch out for those Swedish Women. They like nothing more than to take men to small steamy huts in the woods, strip them naked and beat them with birch branches. smile smile smile smile tired

Many pardons, but those are Finnish women. The Swedish women...well, never mind.

big al: give the kid a trac phone and a debit card. He'll be fine.

Nothing in the rules says you can't follow it with a swig of cool beer.
