ray mears.... enough said

:yikes: Not in the biblical sense though surely.... ?

Brains ... before the zombies scoop them out while he's camping alone in the dark in the woods.

Goes along the line of what Nova & Pinky said about common sense. if you've got brains and know how to use them (big difference) you're more than halfway there.

As for having brains and knowing how to use them I worked at the University of Kent for 15 years, and most of the academics there had very little or no common sense at all it was actually scary to listen to them advise me how to do a repair if I ever had to work in their office. More than once I had to reply. "Are you good at your job? So am I. Shut the (expletive) up!" or words to that effect.
