How Wise Are You?

Lets say you and your family are traveling on vacation together in the remote mountains miles from anywhere. Just your luck the good lord tries to test your survival skills and puts a hole in your tire. After getting the tire off and putting the spare back on you turn around and by accident kick your hubcap and all 5 lugnuts over the cliff and down a 500 foot ravine! Since we are in the cold mountains i dought we have phone service. WHAT THE HELL DO I DO NOW?

I don't live that far from you peacock, so I know how to survive in the frozen North. The other gentleman (PoukieBear) is from Canadia, but she actually lives a couple of hundred miles south of us.

Hey joeychitwood, at first glance I thought your avatar said Ducati Corpse!
