I was trapped in a forest 3000m up, incoming blizzard. I used my teeth to gnaw a feather stick and lit a fire by striking sparks from my toenails.

Thank goodness I never go into the woods without my teeth.

If you are an uncouth sort who is quite happy eating their beans off the blade of a butter-blunt knife, please don't try carrying that habit out into the woods with a good knife. I did. Tongues take a long time to heal...

A fun challenge for you all..... Can you write a short piece to justify not using a knife in an outdoors/bushcraft situation without someone picking holes is it - now remember this is tongue in cheek so give it a blast. :D

NO!!! :lmao: :lmao: Just like wearing my watch, I've had one on my wrist from the age of ten and feel naked without one!!! I'm fortunate to have a job where I can carry some form of sharp every day!!!! :)

Never wear a wristwatch. If I really must tell the time I take a small robot with a watch in his chest that does me. Do have a model of Stonehenge with gnomen and compass in a pocket watch but sadly nobody has asked me the time when I have carried it around. When about eight I lost my penknife that had a secret trick to prevent opening down a drain so had no knife for a few weeks.

Do not panic, I found a slightly rusted one blade penknife on the ground a few weeks later. Sadly it opened normally.
