GoodGawd, let me think about it for a month and I'll get back to you.  Seriously, I think there are already a few threads about macgyverisms that we have done and that are already a bit challenged post-wise on the topic without specializing in specific activities. Having said that, I think most of us who've spend a lot of time in the outdoors have removed fishhooks from skin, made splints, got stuck vehicles back on the road, etc ..... which don't necessarily qualify as MacGyverisms .... but in that general direction.

To be fair, not everyone is as well educated in the art of nature MacGyvering. I'm not as smart as MacGyver, and certainly don't have that kind of mindset... though I would love to be able to think that way. For me, it just doesn't come naturally - see what I did there? XD When it comes to communing with nature, I would need someone who is a bit more outdoors savvy. I would be a bit more like Pete in Survivor's when it comes to camping. God help me! Though, as long as I'm not alone and there are folks familiar with camping, I wouldn't mind giving it a go... give me great opportunities to practice my nature photography. Nothing really beats a nice campfire, roasting marshmallows and telling spooky stories. I guess you can say... I'm nature curious. I think I can rub two sticks together to make a fire... other than that, sorry... got nothing.
