Unless you can chip your own out of a river rock like the Hippy in Dual Survival.

With the knife you can prepare the wood for making a friction fire. Something that should be practiced in the back yard before you make your life depend on it.

Gotta give Hawke's wife some big credits. She took a couple of big hits, one in the desert and the Alaska episode.
I only recently 'discovered' this show having missed the broadcast (most of my TV time is selective and on demand) on Netflix.

It seemed like the best of the survival type shows (I couldn't stomach the induced drama of Dual Survivor). As a bonus, my wife actually watched it and started to engage in conversation about what happens when you are not comfortably safe at home...She even noticed a few of the knives since she became a fan of Benchmade....

It was worth watching if for no other reason it opened the discussion with her that knowing how to survive must involve more than calling AAA on the cell.

One Man Army was crap.....
