Paracord suppository?


Tell you captors its a tapeworm trap

I'm sorry cukros1, we are not taking your question very seriously are we ? Basically because what you are looking for and asking about is a pointless exercise... but one we have probably all asked at a certain youthful or naive point in our lives. Suggesting a SERE kit is about as useful as being told "Don't get caught" or "Go down fighting" or "Tell them you are a lunatic ad start eating grass". Better men than you or I have figured out all the ways to thwart useful kit

Ive got an old Golden Virginia baccy tin stuffed full of all kinds of little goodies for such an emergency, put it together in about 1974/75, sealed with duct tape to make it waterproof. Carried it in the army for some years and it has sat in the drawer of a desk in my attic for the past 30 years. Never needed it once so it must work ! You could have that if you want although the tea in the couple of teabags has probably gone off by now (always have a brew kit- there you go thats the best SERE tip youve had yet, always have something to brew up:))

In fact, next time I think about it I willhave some kind of anniversary opening of it and take a photy for the flag. What Caliban in his youth thought would be useful behind some inmaginary enemy line.

What sort of environment would you be escaping and evading from? And from who?

In all seriousness the best kit is the one you have on you at all times. I have had my gear end up half a days walk from me because the porters didnt feel like walking as slow as we did or even take the same route. Since I work mostly in the jungle I prefer to carry a few items that suit that environment best and fit in a small pouch I carry on my belt. A couple of granola bars, water purifying tabs or a filter bottle, a compass, and if I am lucky a satphone. If it comes to a full on SERE scenario I am pretty much fucked anyway. But if I got lost or separated (which has happened it the past) I have the basics covered until I link back up with the group. Plan for the most likely scenario and not the gnarliest one you can dream up. Oh and money always helps.

Swain...first of all...who the hell travels with a FULL makeup kit, portable gym and min bar. Jesus man THat cost me at least a dozen mules. Then the hookers...WHY fat ones?? They ate all my friggin caviar on the first night out. By the third day we were down to the off brand duck paté and the crackers had lost their snap.

I don't mind traveling with a Pinoy tranny hair band but why do they need all those Marshall amps? And finally the drugs. Do you know how uncool it is to bring the entire hyrdoponics setup "just so you don't have to deal with stale bud" (air quotes and whiney voice added)

So you givin' SERE advice is like Obama giving savings advice. Stow it...in your matching Louis Vuitton Limited Edition "Cranberry" Safari luggage!

Where your at have friends including local Lawyer ! Then have real cash for the area ,what ever it is ! Have friends with guns to break you out without killing you !Carry some Kit but in that scenario expect it to be taken from you, and be ass out ! Bring your Mind and Hillbilly sense to be foremost in the wilds of nature or the urban jungle ! Do not go if you can't sack up for the party !

Pinoy tranny hair bands pack the best bang for the buck. Smaller footprint, large repertoire of classic rock and Carpenter's covers, and they cook. Btw Marshall 800 full stacks or GTFO.

I then used the extra weight allowance to upgrade to the comfort model hooker. In the jungle no one can hear your fat hooker scream, duh. Plus they are fun to ride and none of your friends will ever see you on one. Plus you know how uncomfortable those huts are, a soft and eternally grateful fatty is just what the doctor ordered in a scenario such as that.

So now that you are stateside are you doing your best Gravel Voiced. "I remember when I was IN THE SHIT!" spiel to the bleach blonde cougars on Sunset?

Or are you doing the PTSD, meth stoked jibber jabber philosopuke of Dennis Hopper to the Swedish backpackers in Venice?

10 gold coins, and 15 packs of Marlboro reds.

No shit.

Two of these wouldn't hurt either:

I'd think local currency would work better than gold really. And of course it would be my luck that I'd run into the ONE guy in the area who hated smoking.
