Alaska is full of bodies of men who fired all their ammo trying to get rescued, or kept it in case of bears, when they should have bulled a bullet with their teeth, dumped the powder on some kindling, chambered the shell, and pointed the barrel at the gunpowder and fired. The spark from the primer would have lit the gunpowder, started a fire, and they would have been warm, and the bears, if there ever were any, would have stayed away.

Yes I've done this.
