Re: How many survivalists does it take to change a light bulb?

One to fetch a handfull of sand
One to light a fire with two sticks of wood
One to melt the sand to create glass
One to blow the glass into a bulb
One to find metallic ores
One to melt the ores into the screw
One to suck the air out of the bulb with a straw while...
One seals the bulb with a mixture of pine resin and wild honey.
