"The real master has no tools at all, only a limitless capacity to improvise with what is to hand."
Em. . .I'm sorry but this is BS. Couldn't read past it.

I didn't like that either. I'm definitely a tool nut. And knowing the right tool for the job and how to use it part of mastery. Yes you can improvise, but mastery means not having to. It's better to have the pump, a set of wrenches and spare than have to rely on an improvisation that may not work. My philosophy on things like that is that it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Especially in the desert. I think these folks were shining on the author and he never figured it out.

It is a circumstance which I have found myself in on far too many occasions. Improvisation is something i'm rather good at, and I have gotten out of quite a few situations by turning whatever could be found to my needs.

It's amazing what you can fix with paper clips and rubber bands when nothing else is available, but I still swoon going by the tool section in the hardware store. One of my favorite repairs was a customer machine that would only fail at noon every day. That was when the sun came through the skylight and tripped the photosensors, fixed by turning machine 90 degrees.

New skills like not hating blacks.
Good luck.
