**** the industrial revolution. I think when we go back to living by our
wits, in harmony with nature, we'll actually be happier. Of course, most
of us will be actually dead, because most people wouldn't know how to
open a can without electricity. That's fine with me.


What cans? Who is going to make them, process them, or deliver them
with NO technology?

You figured that out, huh? Then maybe you could've figured out the
unwritten but blatantly implied part of the sentence: "let alone survive
in the wild with little more than a knife."


I've been though several military survival training sessions, and I
found a lot more use for a hatchet. I don't even remember using my
knife. The one at -20F in Alaska was the worst. Very little food to be
had, and you spent most of your time harvesting firewood. Shelter was
small branches cut from pine trees, and covered with snow. the opening
had to face away from the wind, and if the shelter was too small, your
lost body heat would cause it to ice over, and lose the insulating
effect of the loose snow covering the shelter. The don't call it a
'frozen wasteland' for nothing.
