What happens when your one axe breaks, or you lose your knife, or you fall in water in cold weather. You need a decent number of people to rotate sentries, and even relatively short duties create horrible strain on fit twenty-something soldiers, let alone the mixed bag that will be post-shtf Britain

Not so mon ami, at least not always, the best and safest soldiers on a battle field are those you cannot see or hear IE the recce troops and scout sniper teams. If you are well hidden the risk is tiny, if you are well hidden and have 1 sentry even better and if you are well hidden with a sentry and have a pre arranged escape route your doing well.

We must not think of ourselves as soldioers or warriors, instead we should be shadows staying out the way, fighting only if we have no other option. overall its still all down to a mix of luck and prepping.
