Hands-On Survival

The book discussed yesterday "Deep Survival," got me thinking about the mental aspects that can separate survivors from victims. But the practical aspects are also interesting.

I'm checking these out for a possible adventure next summer:

  1. Ah, have fun! My idea of roughing it is having to walk up (or down) one flight to the ice machine.

  2. Ever see "Spaceballs," a very silly Mel Brooks movie?

    In one scene, the Skywalker-like hero is crawling across a desert, croaking "Water... water..."

    Behind him, the robot crawls across the sand: "Oil... oil..."

    The princess is last, struggling across the dunes, crying "Room service... room service..."
