[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 1778908, member: 684"] I agree with Mikey. I used to be one of those manpurse totin' EDC idiots who carried 50 feet of duct tape, 20 feet of paracord, three lighters as well as lighting steels, tinder, first aid kits and enough batteries to make everybody happy on Christmas morning, until I realized. :idea: All this talk about surviving the apocalypse had me wondering...why? :ugh2: I mean - why would you [B][I]WANT[/I][/B] to survive? To be the only one left on earth? To spend your remaining days scrounging around like a damned possum searching for food that will be more or less filled with bacteria and poison that will kill you slow and painfully instad of instantly like the apocalypse [I]SHOULD[/I] have. To each their own, but Jesus Christ! How much ******** are you guys really gonna carry around with you, paranoid outta yer skulls wondering if'n you got enough tinfoil or not. :rolleyes2 Now don't get me wrong! I was a boy scout in my youth and yes, I keep enough food and water in my house to wait out a tornado or other natural disaster that we have here quite often in good ol' Oklahoma, but to carry around a manpurse full of crap that people think will sustain them while everybody else gets eaten by the zombies is just plain nuts. :screwy: I wager that more than half of the folks who go to these extremes have never spent one night out in the rural parts of the state in their entire lives and couldn't fathom the very idea of having to "rough it" out in the sticks like us country guys and gals grew up doing our entire lives. How many of ya can even dress a deer or small game such as rabbit, turkey or squirrel? Who knows how to filet or scale a fish? Who here knows how to start a fire without that precious Zippo lighter or even a book of gofor matches? Could you honestly find your way out of the woods without a compass? Even if you had a compass, what good does it do you if you don't know where you are to begin with. Now I don't mean to sound like a Mr. Know-it-all because Lord knows I ain't. I just see these deer hunters every November come to my neck of the woods and not know a damned thing about hunting. The same rules apply to the city born and bred survivalists/EDCers out there. There's more to surviving in the great outdoors than a bag full of goodies and what you learned on the web. [/QUOTE]
