Poor Old Dude

I've been watching videos again, and it seems the trend is to have sooooooo many Bug Out Bags that you need a separate building just to store them. It seems you need a EDC Bug Out Bag which never leaves your side, a BOB for your car, a Get Home Bag so you can get home to get your BOB. If you work in a office you need a office BOB, a while you're sleeping BOB so when something happens in the night you have a BOB till you wake up enough to grab your other BOBs, a school BOB, a gym BOB.....etc. etc. and so on. Enough is enough already. Redundancy is great but this is just plain stupid. Get your self or better yet make yourself a BOB, keep it in a place where it is accessible when you feel you need it most, make yourself a emergency supply kit to keep in your car and just stop the madness. Most people spend the vast majority of their time in one of three places, at home, at work or in their vehicle. So at the very most you will need three cashes of supplies and most people will onl

Yeah I know I'm ruffling some feathers here, and no I'm not anti-gun. I'm very pro-gun, I own and have been a shooter since I was old enough to hold a rifle. What I am saying here is that to "survive" you do not need a firearm. It seems that most vids on the internet today that focus on survival always focus on a firearm and more often than not a handgun, but the truth is when it comes to survival a handgun is all but useless. Read what I said there for "survival" this is entirely different than for "defense", and while a long gun is a excellent tool for survival it is not necessary for taking game, especially small game, that can be done with, a bow, slingshot, rabbit stick, air rifle, atlatl, and through trapping. Trapping in itself is a much more cost effective way of taking game than hunting. So when you watch those vids that say you have to have a gun, well fine if you are a gun person but if you're not there is still hope for you, jus

I guess what I want to say in a nutshell is learn the old way to do things. Modern tech is great, and in a short term situation it really is the way to go, but if things truly go from bad to worse, that tech may be your downfall. Batteries die, tech stops working, fuel runs out, and there may not be a source available to you when you need it most. However if you have the knowledge to survive without tech then you really have a leg up. Here's a example pretty much anyone can start a fire with a lighter or matches, but when those are gone the ability to make fire with a flint and steel, bow drill or magnifier may gave your life. The same thing goes for so many things in life. Learn the primitive and you can really survive long term.
