Woodsman's Pal, Spetnatz survival tools, Kukhris and Stihl Chain saws are all interesting tools. I think people need to remember a basic survival situation, even in a resource rich environment is supposed to be a short term, conserve your energy affair. I am far to lazy to construct redwood tree deadfalls for Arnold movie predators or Swiss Family Robinson treehouses. Give me a tarp shelter, a fire and carefully poke me awake when the helicopters can be heard <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
