Jim even has "bug-out packs" ready in case of such an emergency, accessible for his children, consisting of food, water, rope, and first-aid. For fun, Jim has his wife drop him off in the desert for days at a time, with little more than some water and a knife. He finds being resourceful entertaining. Jim has tremendous mental fortitude and knows how to get by in some of the roughest situa tions. As a child, Jim rarely spent time indoors, and has lived in many different environments which shaped him into the character he is today.
