I’m sure this has been asked many times. I need help picking a fixed blade. Which one do you guys recommend? Looking for a camping knife and one I can throw in the truck.  

I got this from Blade HQ:
DPX HEST Original Fixed W/ Micarta Handle (3.125’’ Black Plain) $99
Ortario RAT-3 Fixed Blade 1095 Steel with green sheath (3.75’’ Black Plain) $84
ESEE Knifes 3PM-MB Knife (3.88” Black Plain) $108

Thanks

Of those 3 I would go with the ESEE, but I doubt you'd be unhappy with any of them.

Another option similar in size and price to ones you have listed in the Swamp Rat Rodent 4. Swamp Rat makes outstanding knives for the money IMO.

Scrap Yard Knives IMHO are better than any of the ones you have included.  They sharpen easily and will hold an edge longer.  The handles (Resiprene C) are 10 times better than micarta. Only downside is they do not come with a sheath but there is a link for sheath makers.  These and Swamp Rat knives are Bussekins, knives made by members of the famous Busse Combat Knife Company family.

Renee just sent me an email. The scrap yards 411 are not available for ordering at this time. It should be available in the next few weeks. Ship time is anywhere from 4 to 16 weeks. Damn that's a long time.
Just going to have to wait.
