Steve held up a WWII-era shovel. "People joke that the military is mostly running and peeling potatoes, but they forget the very, very important digging holes aspect."
So much digging.
"These shovels were standard issue during my time in the service."
"Holes can also be used to make a shelter cooler in the warmer months," Tony added, sighing at the shovel in his hands. "So... it does relate to survival."
And not just the teachers being terrible.
"They can be used to hide food from animals," Steve added, "and save your bacon from enemy mortars."
Not normally a problem, but sure.
"Protection. Yes," Tony said, nodding and trying not to grin at that very specific thing. "So. We'll be digging--as a group. And decide how deep and how large this hole should be."
"Pretty sure there aren't scorpions in this dirt," Steve added helpfully.
Tony had been nodding along until his brain caught up with what Steve said there. "Wait, what?"
Steve smiled beatifically at him. "What what?"
