Survival stories are full of clever improvisations: a bin bag turned into a waterproof, a foil wrapper turned into a signal mirror, a rucksack strap turned into a splint. Thinking outside the box is a real survival skill, and people who can look at an object and see what else it could do have more options than people who cannot.
