as long as we dont give up on the sharpened pry bars that i love so much and that piss so many of the internet bush craft/survival experts off.
A survivalist must above all else be a pragmatist. Results are more important than technique, and technique is more important than tools. I say that if you meet somebody who is more keen on criticizing your tools than looking at the results you can achieve with them, you haven't met a real survivalist. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Granted they do have a point in that you're a lot more likely to be carrying a 4 inch blade and not your prybar when bad things happen unexpectedly. But that's a topic about preparedness and availability, not actual capability.
