I’ve always liked to think I could hold my own in a survival situation. Y’know, track down a feral hamburger if my plane crashed in the Sahara jungle or whatever. Truth is, I’m as likely to survive a spell in the wilderness as I am a meteor strike to the back of the head.

It also holds a trail of dead bodies and the stink of something afoot.
