    The only thing with the rock is to make sure that it doesn't have any really sharp edges that could slice through the stocking.

    How would you be sure that the coyote hole was abandoned? Wouldn't you be a little concerned about one returning home?

    I've never even heard of that. Does the steam come from the moisture in the green matter?

    It kind of makes me think of a solar oven, though I doubt anyone would make bread in it. LOL

    Survivalist Books

    Let's put together a good list of books for developing/refining our skills. List books that cover wilderness living, food preservation, plant identification, first aid, etc.

    She can't handle a kid in a high chair. I'm not convinced she could handle a swing set in a park, much less surviving in the wild.

    I don't think it's the easiest way to do it, but it's definitely one of those generally useless skills that could come in handy in a difficult situation.

    I remember those red berries growing up. I used to think they were so pretty until a stern warning came to never, ever put one near my mouth.

    I've always been the person that got depended on so there's really no room in my life to not be calm during a crisis. I'm also not a very expressive person when it comes to emotion.

    I don't have any issues with maintaining composure during stress situations. It rarely 'hits' me until well after the situation is managed and I have time/space to process it emotionally.

    I'd probably lean toward making spears, first, because it would be faster. I'd take solid sticks and sharpen the edge. If a knife were available, I might try to notch the tip as well.

    It would have to depend on the situation. If I were camping, I'd already have extra supplies. If I weren't, I don't know what kind of shape I'd be in.
