My wife has been using coupons for items on sale and stocking up... So we have enough canned goods, packs of water, and toilet paper to last 30 years...

Clearly the 10mm.

 

[DAVE_M]

Clearly the 10mm.

10mm is far from perfection.

I have the only practical skill needed to survive..............


Not dying. Don't really matter how you do it, as long as you do it.

For real, though..... all that cool SHTF "training" and guns and crap stock-piled in your spare room isn't worth a **** if you haven't actually tried to survive with it prior to a bad situation. All you need to do is look at video from any of the natural disasters in the last few decades and watch all the idiots roaming around with their heads up their asses and a car and house full of **** they thought they needed but never bothered to use. How many "preppers" have lived in the woods for 30+ days with limited resources and no backup plan to "train". How many actually have the mental and emotional toughness to do WHATEVER it takes to survive? Then throw in the physical aspects of it and I'm guessing there aint a whole bunch. All your fancy trucks and bunkers and buckets don't mean a thing if you're a toot.

Are you implying that a 300lb keyboard-commando with a ****-ton of prepper junk and other "survival" items likely doesn't actually have "mad-skillz" needed to survive in their "SHTF" fantasy?
