Necessity: The Mother of Invention

I've started fires with sparks on split-open cotton balls coated in Vaseline, sparks on magnesium shavings, and my favorite sparks on char-cloth nestled in a bundle of dried grasses. Spent hours stalking around with a hand saw searching for dry wood to keep those fires going. Filtered and purified my own water on the trail for safe drinking. Learned to use a number of different fasteners, straps, buckles, and knots to great effect out in the field.

And now, I finally know where I get it from........

The classic backpack re-adjust on the baby changing station at Exit Glacier! Now THAT'S using your resources!
