>>849230everyone fucks up some times, it's fucking stupid, but no one is immune to making mistakes
he deserves criticism for getting into that position
but that doesn't mean that his self rescue isn't impressive, it doesn't take away his achievement, but you have a very black and white perspective on this where you can only look at it with an extremely negative and cynical point of view, just "oh wow he cut off his arm, big deal, anyone can do that"
you're a stereotypical armchair survivalist who thinks anyone can just do what he did..well that's easy to say until you're the one cutting through nerves and all that sensitive shit in your arm with a blunt knife.
Lots of people would just wait and hope for rescue, then be too weak to go through with it.
