about

Inspired by survival camp when I was assigned to Air Station Kodiak. Rest assured, hell is not a warm place.

lyrics

To improve your shelter is worth the time
Don't get distracted by a want of fire
Look around the tide pools and you will find
All that you may need to keep you alive
All that you might need to help you survive, for a little while

Looks like we'll be here for a little while
We can all recognize and start to compile
See that vessel, we got to keep it full
Cotton is a killer, that's why we wear wool
We have some time now, let's play some cards
Write help in the sand so they know where we are
I think we'll be here for a little while
Sometimes survival takes a little denial, for a little while

We're going to be here for a little while, for a little while
Looks like we'll be here for a little while, for a little while

There's not a road around for miles and miles
We're going to be here for a little while
I better sit down and take a drink
In our situation it's an important thing
Take a seat with me
