I think TEOTWAWKI will be at least a mildly stressful situation!!! Low fitness just means your ability to cope with stress, change, mental and emotional challenges, is not at the level it could be at.
Increasing your fitness isn't everything, but damn....it greatly increases your chances of surviving a situation much more than if you had no fitness!!!
I agree that stress will be a factor after the SHTF, but here we are talking more about the fitness of the mind, not so much the body,.... so in a way we could class this forum as the gym,.. we are preparing our minds/thoughts for a time when things will be a lot different,...as prepers we are so much fitter to deal with the stress that will come
I agree, fitness is not everything, together with the fitness you now hold,.. your abilities will give you the edge,... its not a bit of good being a superman, if you cant open a can of beans,... but you can be unfit and still catch game,.. you dont need to chase it down
A major part of survival is invisibility.
