Survival Tactics



I watched the Czech Republic episode of No Reservations this weekend, and you know what all those slavic faces and scarves made me think of? Survival.

If I needed to slice open an animal and snuggle inside to stay warm, I'd do it. I'd say a little prayer, slit its throat and snuggle up. I wouldn't drink the blood, though. I'm not gonna sit there and, like, stick a straw up in it. In the morning I'd use it as a sled to get to the next village. Who would DO something like that, you might ask? Someone who's resourceful*. Using the ears to steer, I'd sled right up to a village and say, "Here's a present. Can I please use your phone?"
