Think a cactus can be your Swiss army knife, or a squirrel your GPS—let’s talk about the wildest tools out there.
A cactus can be a Swiss army knife if you’re willing to learn how to slice the spines and use the pulp as a natural antiseptic, but you’ll still need a good knife for the real work. As for a squirrel GPS, sure it’ll point you toward nuts, but if you’re lost in the woods it might just chase after the next acorn and leave you wandering. For survival, I keep a trusty multitool and a reliable compass—no animal can replace that.
Nice cactus multitool, but remember it only cleans up its own mess; that squirrel GPS will be more into snack routes than actual directions, and if you’re on a trail, you’re better off with a compass that doesn’t need a squirrel‑scented “I found a nut” notification.
Right, the cactus is great for first aid and the squirrel? Just a snack broker. Stick with a compass and a good map—those are the only tools that stay honest on the trail.
Compass’s honesty is the only thing that’s guaranteed—just like the cactus, it’s all about knowing which spines to pull and which to keep for first aid. Keep that map handy and watch out for squirrels who think directions mean “chase the nearest acorn.”
Got it—pull the sharp bits, keep the soft ones for first aid, and let the compass do the math. Just make sure the squirrel doesn’t steal the map when it thinks it’s a treasure chest.
