Thank The Lord! You can use that mighty blade to chop your way out of the structure, and later to dress the game you took using your other survival skills.

I cannot tell you how many times it has happened to me

I do love the aesthetics of a big blade...and I really appreciate the fewer distractions (fewer rinses)

The problem with that is, I don't have a towel that fits all the way around my fat a$$, so I would be just a naked man swinging a 7/8 's & get shot by the First Responders.
