Armchair Survivalists

This is another version of the reality T.V. Moron, except this guy thinks he’s prepared for anything. Chances are he has a bugout bag, loads of tactical gear, and has probably watch every episode of Man VS Wild & Doomsday Preppers.

Although he may have the right gear, he probably has no clue how to use it in a real world situation. He has seen these skills preformed on the screen, but he never took the time to learn how to do them himself. Once the SHTF, he will be no better off than the millions of other people who spent their time watching

learn to use the kit and equipment you have dont just buy it and think you are ready

Armchairs and wannabes are endemic in the British prepper world as are gear hogs, buy a PC and become a survival journalist, buy some kit and become an expert of logistics, do a weekend bushcraft course and suddenly become a survival expert. I've been doing this for over 30 years and I still think I'm a novice especially when i read well researched and written projects from people like Light Speed, Paul, Nemesis, Ken etc.

Note also the number of diabetics saying they are doomed, the vast majority of American diabetics are type 2s, they got that way by eating themselves so fat they became diabetic, many of them would recover if they lost weight. type ones are the poor sods whose systems go wrong through no fault of their own.
