Of course this includes abilities such as being able to start a fire, pitch a tent (no, no that tent) and shoot a gun...but what about the functional ability to adapt physically to any situation?
Like just now in another thread I was astounded that it never occurred to an individual to not wash their cup in the bathroom sink with hot water and hand soap at work.
I've washed dishes and clothes and my hair in the sink before. I've brushed my teeth outdoors with a glass of water.
In college, when I didn't have a washer and dryer, nor wanted to spend money on the laundry mat, I washed my clothes in the bath tub (except for undies which I washed carefully in the sink) with laundry detergent and a big two-by-four with which I "stirred" the water for agitation like old school. Then I squeezed water out, soaked, and rinsed.
It was time consuming, but since I lived alone, it's not like anyone needed the bath tub, and I could watch tv or get on-line or read or do my homework while my clothes were soaking.
I know there are other adaptation life skills I have, but I'm curious about others, like who else thinks this way?
