Bill, You and I totally agree on this one. Hydration and temperature control is everything. There are alot of ways to complete these tasks. Your best tool will be on top of your shoulders. Know your enviroment and learn as much as you can about what it provides with the least amount of effort. Also make sure you are wearing that knife, if you can't get to anything else you might not be able to get to it. Jimmy
