If you had cell phone as your survival tool. But consensus here is a knife will suffice.

Can I use the knife to threaten you into giving me a ride home?
I still recall the day I met Beaker from the Muppets. He said to me "Meep, meep, mee mee mee Meep!", and that has made all the difference.

Do payphones in the USA still take a single quarter per call? Smile

How prevalent are payphones in the US these days?

Ok forget zombie apocalypse, forget being stranded in the woods for a moment. Take away money, take away credit cards, take away identification and cell phones and computers of any type. Now you have no car or it is broke. Try getting home from 1,000 miles away. Or imagine it happening in a foreign country. Now THAT is survival!

I’d heard that Kozmo was thinking of pitching a reality show where buskers would be dropped off 500 miles form home with only a quarter in their pocket, and they’d have to earn their way back home. I think it would be a great show.


Busking as a survival skill? Now that has me thinking. How to pitch that to the general public in my book?

No. You can't put a quarter in a cell phone.

After a knife the most important survival tool would be something with which to make fire. Many knives today come with fero rods for just this reason. ?The rod can be used to start a fire, signal for help, create a distraction and more. In general yo want tools that are multipurpose but some things should be specific to your own needs. Example might be special medications or dietary aids.
