    Why do you guys carry pry bars? Are you planning to break into places? If so, aren't you the very guys you're worried about?

    (talking to self) If I break in then I'm a rovering hoard mongrel. If I don't I'm a sheeple. What to do? What to do?

    So like, if you were to take a "wonder bar" pry bar, wrap in in para-cord, name it a "Tactical Survival Tool", then you would be a survivalist not just a plain of burglar?
    Yeah, that's the ticket.......

    Funny part is that I have used mine, many times while out "junking" or on a urban re-purposing expedition, or for some "curb cruising".

    As long as it's a TACTICAL survival tool, that's cool.

    I try to keep some M & M's handy, they last in hot and cold weather, and add a fast energy boost.

    Sadly, they don't last in any kind or weather around me. I've been known to hang a sack of M&M like a Pilsner feed bag and stand in the stable with the horses and eat until I can't stand any longer. The vet figured I floundered myself a time or two.

    World War I German aircraft pilots used "Scho-Ka-Kola" for compact energy---caffine from cocoa, coffee and cola-nut extract----available pie shaped pieces in 3.25" tins. Ebay.

    No Urban kit, when i leave the house it's my wallet (with ID driving license etc), keys and mobile phone.

    I have never experienced nor can foresee any event occurring in an urban environment where i'd need more.

    Dang. You've been to Speedway in May. That's a typical night for the Indy 500 crowd.

    Oh, there's plenty of beer. Ice is usually what's short around that place. And the little people, of course.

    You can get that stuff here too! I hear it's good...
    Survival is not about surviving AGAINST the nature. It's about surviving WITH the nature.

    You can't go in to nature, nature is not a place or an object. Nature just is. You are living it.
