^ THIS.

I've made and slept in quinzee's several times while adventuring in the great outdoors. All you need is something to move and pack snow into a mound and hollow it out.  Voila, instant survival snow shelter. It's not the most pleasant thing to sleep in, especially if pooly constructed, but it sure as hell beats sleeping in a foxhole under those same conditions! I mean, wtf do they require cloth in this recipe for?

It's a great game, there's lots to enjoy about it and all.

But...

Stuff like this, and the fact that we STILL can't craft one of mankind's most primitive yet versitile survival tools, the common spear is puzzling. Seriously, even a straight sappling, sharpened to a point and fire-hardened, would be better than nothing and any chimpanzee can be taught to make one.

It all makes me wonder whether or not these guys have ever actually spent any real time and effort communing with nature. Or do they simply dream up survival scenarios and the tools they *think* someone might use to get by? The missed opporunities and the often unintuitive hoops we have to jump through while playing this game raise many questions, indeed.
