Enjoyed this one! I like your practical, no-frills approach, and your suggestion about keeping a bit of cordage on your person at all times is deceptively brilliant. I also spent time in Boy Scouts long, long ago, and even since then I've picked up old Scout manuals from thrift stores,
just for the section on knots...!
Keep up the good work.
