X-Files not so far out anymore.

I was watching the recent incarnation of the X-files and I realize that the show which had seemed so far out when I was younger doesn't seem to be that far off the mark today. We have a president who side steps the Constitution whenever he feels like it and a legislative branch this is more than willing to let him. We have spy drones flying over American cities.

It's human nature to want the biggest, newest, the best and when we're talking survival we all want the coolest gun, some monster knife that will chop down trees, and all those neat gadgets they talk about on Youtube and that's fine if you live in a rural environment or Texas.

If a school backpack will hold your stuff then it's good enough, if a Schrade folding knife will cut what you need then.....you got it, it's good enough. This is a  option that most people wont even consider in today's world but the fact is it's cheaper, and will likely draw much less attention to yourself.
