I knew an old English lady who's answer to everything was a cuppa tea. Nothing that could happen was so bad that a nice hot cuppa wouldn't make it much better.

I knew a guy who trapped by Algonquin Park who had the same answer.
He told me something once, about what to do if I ever managed to get myself turned around and confused about where I was in the woods.
He said the proper response was to immediately and without delay build a small fire and brew a cup of tea. Then after drinking the tea put the fire out and walk back to the last place you knew where you were.


This was a surprisingly good thread. I really enjoyed reading all the different answers.
I must remember to compliment whoever started it!
