My dad one time got stranded in the desert with 2 friends a long way from civilization. He had a blown tire but had a spare. When he went to put the spare on it was an incorrect rim for the car and he didn’t know that since he bought it used and never had to use it. He tried to ride the bare rim but was spinning out and getting stuck. His solution he took the spare tire and his 30-06 gun and shot a hole in the rim which allowed it to barely fit on the car. It did not ride smooth and was a lumpy ride but he drove slow and got to a service station. The guy working was very impressed how it got it to work. Another time he got stuck in the desert he overheated and had no water to fill the radiator. There was a tiny leak somewhere causing it to run out and overheat. His solution this time was to get himself and his friends to Lee into the radiation filling it up enough to keep the engine cool. He again pulled into a service station but this time the guy working there was not impressed because it was now still leaking but this time the pee was burning off the hot engine and the guy could smell and wanted it nowhere near his shop.
