   I'd say most aircraft/spacecraft would have a survival kit that included at   
   least a small saw/axe/trench tool.  Make a lean-to and then take time to   
   build a cabin.   
      
   although the correct answer is really:  he's Bill frakin' Adama who saved   
   the whole human race and how dare you doubt his ability to make a cabin.
