Well, that's just ... embarrassing

ysobelI managed to fall down a hole.
I have in my possession an iron axe that is almost dead, no ladders, and no crafting table. I have enough sticks to make three ladders, which would possibly get me out of here, except... no crafting table. I have precisely one wooden plank, which is three short of what I'd need to make a crafting table. I have an axe, but there are no trees underground. I have dirt and torches, but no saplings to make trees.
In short, I am pretty much screwed.
...the most annoying thing about the "die and restart" thing that is at this point my only option is that I have two full stacks of arrows in my inventory. I /like/ arrows.
(There is a slim chance that I can, after respawning, find my base, grab some wood, find the cave I dropped into, and drop again, before the items despawn, but ARGH.)
ETA: After discovering that I could not in fact die-and-restart in any efficient manner since there were no monsters nearby, it dawned on me that I had freaking /cobblestone/ in my inventory. Which, you know, /builds pillars/. So I am out and attacking trees wantonly. /facepalm/

Alternatively, if you feel that's too much of a cheat, you could use the Lose Me function in http://mc.42nex.us/ , which will let you teleport out while not actually knowing where you'll be when you next load it up. (You upload a level.dat, and it gives you one with a new random player position, which could be some distance away.)

Gravel also works, and you get Bonus Flint for your trouble...
