Dog chain makes sense if used as a neck knife but I was using it IWB with cord looped around belt. I needed it to NOT break .
Ah, yes. Good thinking there.

Just got back from another week in Mexico. Thought I'd post a pic of what I emptied out of my clothing and pockets.

What do you see and what are they for?
Curious what it is I would be doing in Mexico that I would need those escape items for? Or how I would say that my neck knife was for peeling vegatables?
kidnapping is a cottage industry in LATAM.Curious what it is I would be doing in Mexico that I would need those escape items for? Or how I would say that my neck knife was for peeling vegatables?
Kinda on a related but unrelated note on neck lanyards. When I've used an ID pouch or travel money pouch with a lanyard around my neck in the past I've taken woven wire like the type they use on bike locks but thin, and inserted it inside of the hollow string lanyard. You can do this for purse straps too. It makes it to where someone cant cut it or tear it off your neck.
Like aircraft wire. You can buy it on rolls at Walmart or lowes.
If you're worried about someone pulling you around by it, these arent supposed to be tight so it will slip over your head if you need it to
Having a lanyard that won't break means you can also use it around other people's necks if needed.

Seems you’ve not been to Mexico in a bit? Since the rise of hip-hop culture, Marlboro has been replaced by Kool and Newport as the cigarette of choice for bribes!Well I don't see the cartond of Marlboro's so I guess those got used at various traffic stops.....
I choose not to return to Mexico, ever. I can get Mexican food/drink here and there are lots of beaches in America.
I have a Honda XR650R, the King of Baja, and it's not going back. I have friends who were dragged out into the desert, had everything they had stolen (including the RV) and felt lucky to be left alive. Corrupt cops, drug cartels, military enforcing hooker contributions...no thanks.
Build the freeking wall.

YepDoing? Standing around breathing. Lots of kidnappings in Mexico. Knives (and all weapons) are pretty much forbidden for non citizens. BUT...if you find yourself having to explain to the local constabulary why you have a knife you'd probably prefer to explain a fruit knife vs the "Captain Killemall Signature Model Combat Masterpiece with Skull Crusher and Sawback blade"...or a spyderco folder..... At a minimum any knife might get confiscated...so being out $8 vs being out $100 (and more likely to be arrested) makes that a reasonable choice. And offering a friendly cigar, a little humble apology for not knowing their rules and maybe even offering to pay the fine on the spot are all time honored ways of avoiding lengthy imperial entanglements down there.
Yup they did, because bad things still happen to good people, no matter where you live, work, play. Why not use a little forethough on preparedness?Wait, did reseachers follow you guys when they were developing the screenplay for Sicario?
In communists occupied states like chicago I'd say a throw away fruit or shrimp peeler is a mustWith exception of perhaps the foreign money, Randy's Mexico EDC could/should/would be right at home here at home (USA). At the price, the little fruit knife should be in your car, truck, motorcycle storage kit, briefcase, range bag and pocket.
