A glorious ramble by prepper1

A good common sense post,... but you still need the kit.... ok you dont need to go out and buy the very best because someone or some advert told you to,... but kit you will need none the less,... so I would put just a bit more importance on kit than you did

You wouldnt want anyone doing as you advise and getting out into the wild yonder to learn to light a fire and go down with hyperthermia because they didnt have the right gear,... there is a good reason why the Army issue kit before the training begins......

...but a good post
