I wouldn't call BC, a situation.
I would say it's a skill, so that you can live without modern equipment, even though you may have it.
but really, it's what you think of it, some people just see it as sitting around whittling spoons and thats fine, thats what they think it is and thats there definition of the word.

kind of...
I personnally would want a bigger blade for BC because then you can carry one bloade and have both a chopper/digger/prybar and knife for whittling and finer tasks.
thats just me.
honestly, there is no absolute meaning for BC that I've seen.
there is what I think of as the "typical" (what I think most people think of when they hear the word) meaning of the word, then there is rainwalkers meaning (which may be closer to the actualy meaning)

you would take what you need Cloak, if a folder will do, then bring a folder.

idk if my post made sense... some of it may sound like it contradicts itself...
idk.
I hope it came out right.
