People only have a need for these things because they don't know any other way to live. You can't fault someone for not being raised or inspired to try living in the woods (or wherever). Plus, it's completely okay to rely on modern technology and luxuries. That's why we invented them.
The axe was probably a modern technology and convenience at one time too. Some elder or survivalist of the time was definitely irritated that a young person was using an axe when their sharp stone and biceps did the trick for years.
- mikestew 7y agoYou can't fault someone for not being raised or inspired to try living in the woods (or wherever). Stating that I have difficulty grasping a mental model would, to me, imply that if I can't grasp it I can't fault it, either. Pretty sure I hammered that point home in my comment. Regardless, if you can't go a weekend without a cell connection without undue stress, head to Methow, WA with my blessing. But do me a favor: first thing you do when you get unpacked, drive a little wedge or two in that axe handle before you use it. The wedges are probably still Scotch-taped to the axe handle, and could literally save someone's life.
