My whole philosophy in survival is to take down brush as soon as you get in a situation.
That's a bust your ass shot through and through.
Now that this torch is lit, we do not have time to dilly dally around.
I know this guy is a musician so I hope he can play us a tune that could get us the hell out of here.
In any survival situation, you need to weigh the risk and the reward.
I'm a combat diver, I've never done something like this.
