1. Can you start a fire?
You mean without mathes? In summer, perhaps, when there's lots of bright sunlight. At winter I could borrow that telescope shcool has.
2. Do you have a real fireplace?
Yup. And lots of trees.
3. Could you cook from an open flame?
Certainly.
4. Can you swab, lube, load, pack, trim, and fire a black powder gun?
No. Can you make gunpowder?
5. Do you own a black powder gun?
No guns here!
The others have no guns either! And random bears fear fire anyway, so one isn't really needed unless you're attacked by other people.
6. Could you dress, skin, quarter, salt and cure a hog? Cow? Deer?
No, but my grandfather probably could.
7. Gulp, could you make it without the internet?
Sure. I would have something else to do. Read all the books in the library, learn to use a bow or a spear or something, cut wood and so on.
8. Can you use a map, protractor and compass?
Map and compass, sure, but no protractor.
9. Do you know at least what grid square you live in?
No.
10.Can you run a trot line?
What's a trot line?
11.Could you drink pure water from the melting of the morning frost as opposed to 'bottled' water?
We have a well. And snow. And rain.
12.If the electricty stop flowing, you could not recharge your cell phone!
Yes I could! Gasoline will last a few weeks at least if people use it for nothing but reloading a car battery. And when you run out you reload the battery with you own muscles. The problem arises from the fact that you have no-one to call. You have no network. But At least I could play sokoban.
