That Guy

I want to be that guy that knows how to fix a transmission or put a cabin together, with only an axe. However, I am that guy who wanders hardware stores picking up Swiss Army knives and dreaming of conquering nature by whittling a thousand sticks, or of constructing furniture using only an awl and a spokeshave not having a clue what they are or do. I am that guy who hunts for the perfect tool box for his Swiss Army Knife and Screwdriver, who dreams of working in the garage on a project so diabolically engineered that it only requires a Swiss Army knife and a screwdriver to take it apart. If society ever breaks down I hope I will know how to create a preppers kingdom defended by boobytraps. In any hardware store I can be seen searching for boobytrap kits traps that can be easily assembled with a spokeshave and an awl.
