Great post. Isn't the computer between your ears the greatest tool we posses? The ability to improvise and make the best out of what we have is going to keep you alive a lot longer than the best knives or equipment you can buy. Turning lemons into peaches or a bad situation into a good one is what surviving is.

A lot of people think they lack the ability to do this, but you will be surprised at what people can do when they actually have to in order to survive or get by. People don't push themselves to their limits enough in this cushioned world. Its nice to see that some of us still can improvise and use what we have to survive.
