Right tool!

[Smash05]

for the right job. I'm on a kick, sorry, but I have seen recently on the boards (maybe just me) many tools broken from being used improperly, or being used in the improper circumstance. I don't want this to turn into a debate, but I think there is a lot of good knowledge being wasted out there on bad technique and poor execution. I'm not an expert myself, however one thing I am good at is self assessment, which I think is something of an essential skill/technique when preparing for the wilderness, or potential survival situations. Sometimes its not the technology we choose to use, but the manner in which we use it, and the choices we make ahead of time. I could go on, but I would start to ramble, just remember to self assess people!
