There will be cops around looking to make some money or maybe looking for a star on his carrier.
Yup! The bane of the casual tourist in India! I was actually stopped by some cops who tried to prove that carrying MY dog in MY car is somehow illegal. I made them look through the entire rule book, couldn't find anything!
Cheers!

Brihaji, that was probably the actual reason. That too without a driving License. Though the fine for that is only Rs.100.
Not worth going through the rules, sheer waste of time and effort.

Unfortunately the poor guy can't read GPS, so I have to let him drive. Also, most people give way to a 70 kilo Rottweiler growling at them!!

With a 70 kg beast in your car you don't have to worry about cops or a horn for your car even an 'outdoor survival weapon'...............

Seriously though, as several people have mentioned, you need a decent knife at the very minimum
When I go camping, I take my hatchet and several knives.

I always have my 2.5 inch EDC folder in a pocket but I also take a 3.0 inch folder with me when camping.
These are both CRKT Ron Lake designs. I love this blade shape.


In addition, my kitchen kit contains a small paring knife for food preparation chores.
That seems to be really amazing camping and trekking knives which can be used perfectly for outdoors survival.
Keep knives in your pocket and pray that you will never need it

Yes that true. The cops some times really harass the tourist to get some money from them

That might be the only reason for sure that cops caught him

Surely the beast alone can be enough to deal with all the cops...

Ah well, you don't let a family member do the work of a chowkidar or a PSO, do you?
