Heh heh! That is a fine account of a sensative predicament to solve, Thomas, and it was most kind of you to assist this poor waif.
I commend your selection of the proper tools to carry, although a Victorinox Tinker has a wonderful small pliers that has actually been useful on stubborn zippers many times for me, though I may not have chosen to use it in this particular case...
It's good to hear harrowing tales, solved through the wisdom of calm, mature outdoors men, improvising and making do with only the tools you have wisely chosen to to carry.
Addled brained young bucks probably would have rushed in and botched the job with their heavy duty survival knives, which would have been an awful shame.
It is good to know you carefully judged the functional ergonomics, and solved this precarious situation in the nick of time, although you are slightly vague about how many hours the job required....
