I bet he was also persuaded into throwing a flag by the OU sideline. Another hallmark of a bad official.

Believe by having a tight end on Williams side with an eligible receiver's number, it made Williams (who was also on the line) unable to legally catch a forward pass. No flag needed to be thrown till a William's touch of a forward pass. If the tight end was off the line in a slot or on the other side of center, then Williams on the line is legal to touch a forward pass. I volunteer coach kickers for a local high school, so my ref credentials are to be taken with a grain of salt. haha

I'd want to take one of those rambo knives that were popular in the 80s. Would that count as one item, since it's a survival kit? I wonder how hard it would be to keep a fire going, or even starting a fire?

I think I could survive a few weeks if I could manage to find freshwater, build a secure camp site and keep a fire going. I'm probably underestimating how hard it would be to hunt food.

I'm not sure how long it would take until a panther got me or some random disease or infection would take me out. . . my luck, I'd be caught by a tribe of cannibals in about 5 minutes.

Wouldnt worry about indigenous.

Fire would be work, burning calories.

Amazon is one of largest freshwater fisheries in world.

Would need ability to make a firebox. Carry it around a bundle, and a spark. Be able to build a shelter in a short span.

Ever go fishing in mangroves? You can feel heat radiate off the leaves. There's a reason, plants deflect the heat. Most plants in that ecosystem keep cool, and also have a waxy leaf. So water will drip away.

Food would be hard. So time and energy would be needed to catch fish.

I remember watching a documentary more than a decade ago regarding cluster headaches and a study out of Arizona I think that found some real benefits in reduction and severity.

It was just a shot in the dark!

Wouldn't surprise me. Some of the beneficial brain changes are impressive.

Assuming RFKJr. is confirmed, he's already making noise about making it significantly easier to get. Don't want to legalize it, fine, but re-scheduling and easing access would be a good start. The FDA's clear bias against anything that drug companies can't make a buck off is criminal, as is the double standard on many things. Far more people are killed every year in the US from alcohol (178,000) and tobacco (480,000) than cannabis (0) or psilocybin (only stat I could find was 43 in Australia from 2000-2023...so also basically 0).

Of course legal painkillers that big pharma makes bank on are just fine...and kill over 100k in the US each year. But heaven forbid that you pick or use a plant or mushroom that grows in your yard.

We should have a "Dual Survival: VolNation Edition". . . where we select 2 of us at random and dump them in the middle of nowhere with just their clothes and what they have on them.

I'd also like to see a city version of this. Get dumped into a foreign city with nothing but your clothes. No money, no phone, no friends, nothing at all. . . it would probably also need to be a foreign language city. That's probably a lot harder than it sounds.
