I also just watched Les Stroud's show "Surviving Urban Disasters" (for the second time) about how to survive flood waters like what was seen in Hurricane Katrina. In it, he busts out a car window using a bunch of coins and keys stuffed into a sock. Another shining example of the virtue of improvisation.
