Knowledge decreases weight

[Midnitemo]

I did say somewhere earlier in the thread , would be a boon if you were stranded without kit......the bottom line for me is I know exposure is the killer and I don't need to practice building an a frame shelter as I know whats required , I know what might be usefull as insulation , I know that a spot out of the wind would be good , I know about deadfall.....tis all common sense and experience... I don't doubt that i'd live to fight another day if I fell into your scenario....just common sense and application .... survival by archaic means is a hobby...pretty usefull but still a hobby , most of the ancients methods evolved...slowly in some cases.

Going back to the original question posed"knowledge reduces weight" I don't nessescarily agree...i'd say knowledge can give you more options possibly save your bacon and make life easier or better , but I doubt i'd leave anything out because of it....cs13 you wouldn't discard you're bivvy/tent/tarps because you know how to build a shelter would you? same with the firesteel/ships matches/lighters? no me either lol
