But what do you do when the battery runs out of juice? Learn the primitive arts so you can do it easily then also carry a flint and steel which is compact, works wet or dry and has no expiration date or shelf life.
These are the little things that can mean life and death in these kinds of situations. Survival is about self reliance and batteries aren't a replenishable resource.
