Knowledge decreases weight

[Midnitemo]

I don't subscribe to a return to the middle ages , the kit i'm thinking of doesn't wear out and break at the kind of rates you're expecting and none of it requires power or significant maintainence....building temporary shelters and making fire with bowdrill's are quaint but I don't see any practicle or sensible use for it when there are canvas/taffeta/poly tarps , firesteels . silva type compases....these things make life a lot easier and don't wear out at terrific rates.....buy a few and cache them, you wouldn't need many to outlast you.....some sort of society/order will come to be and people won't be living nomadically in the woods for any length of time.
