Totally agree. I'm not knocking the lone survivor at all. There is that guy that inspired the Robinson Crusso story.
The reason I was asking the Lone Wolf more than the group prepper was simply because if I get funked up, I was wondering whether there was a way for me to stay mostly effective so that I can still be a valid member of the group and contribute. What with lone wolves being more independent, I was wondering whether they had thought of a way to stay effective while damaged, unwell, or anything like that, that I could use to help my group.
Maybe it was a type of tea that increased your heartrate and worked like speed for when you're feeling tired from other medication (ephedra-tea, for example), or something like that.
This was more of a fact finding thread than a 'let's knock lone wolves and show them how silly they are thread'.
I'm after help for looking after myself so that other people don't have to.
