buying stuff

[IB1]

It's just a balance. If I had a million quid in the bank I would buy every prepping item i could think of, i dont so i just buy what I need.

Knowledge is great and is probably more important than kit, but kit can make your life a hell of a lot easier. As a very simple example, having the knowledge to be able to light a fire with a just a couple of sticks is a great and important skill to have - but it is far easier to light a fire with a disposable lighter.

Some people have more money than sense but that is a good thing as well, people who buy loads of kit without thinking it through provide plenty of good and cheap second hand stuff tight gits like me can buy off them when they flog it on ebay
