Sick!

That's a fair opinion there Binary Ninja.

Well, in a few hours I'm off out into the woods again, because G79 called me out on a really cool challenge! I think it'll be fun to post another experience and the lessons learned in the "Users Experience" section.

Each person can say what they want about anyone else. If someone things negatively towards me, that's their feeling and who am I to say they are wrong. If they say something about me as a person that can be proven wrong, then that's another matter. We are all entitled to our own opinions. We are not entitled to our own facts.

Getting out and having a go is crucial towards developing and becoming a good prepper. So this hoohar is actually a good thing. It's highlighting the principles that prepping is about doing, not about rhetoric.

Really, this thread has the potential to really help so many people develop and become better preppers! Getting people to actually look at the things they're doing and the preps they're making in the light of their ability to deal with the situations.

Yes I talk about mma and fitness a lot, because I believe they are critical survival skills. Although it is a wrong 'direct quote' as Darwin listed many other attributes and fittest was somewhere in the middle (other attributes he said included, fastest, strongest, and quickest to adapt) he has been coined with the phrase "Survival of the fittest" so, considering that MMA uses Cross-Fit, which has been adopted by the military special forces, for many of it's elite fitness work-outs, I think Darwin and his theory would be proud of those posts. Also...oddly enough, talking about MMA and actually training in it is a BRILLIANT survival technique. If you get attacked, it's better to run, but if you can't, knowing what to do is a HUGE survival technique.

For whoever it was that said they are prepping for their son, learning a martial art is a fantastic thing that teaches "Disaprin" (check Team America for translation haha), fitness, self defense, self control, motor-skills (hand eye coordination), it teaches you your physical abilities and limits, it teahes commoradre, and builds really strong bonds between people. Also, having a bunch of fighters as a part of your survival network can't be a bad thing haha. That is something massively recommended, and anyone that has done a martial art and stuck at it will agree. One of the groups I used to work with had kids as young as 9 training. Although some martial arts take kids younger than that.



With the number of people on this forum, it's expected that not everyone will get along. In my opinion, being mature about not getting along is more important than being negative about another person. The thing is, there is an ignore button you can press.


But this thread opens up a whole load of questions and challenges.
