Brain power, man, brain power.

To Macgyver or to Maxwell Smart, that is the question eh? Well I'd say that the smart person will gadget up just in case, and develop the intelligence and wisdom to learn how to do without just about everything they've got and still get by. You see, the mentality of this thing is a two edged sword really. On the one edge, we think about what would make survival easier if we had the thing with us, on the other, we think about what we are actually going to do when we get into the situation that requires us to survive. Most of us here are constantly sharpening both sides, both on our own and in these daily discussions. Ultimately, all this talk about gadgets really gets us thinking about the inevitable situation and how we are going to deal with it.

The play's the thing, man.
