Guns & Ammo

I said yes but I don't see how guns have anything to do with wilderness survival unless it's a hunting rifle..

Well you named a good use for a gun in a survival situation. How about "Protection and Signaling"? I'm sure if you asked around folks would come up with a few more uses for a firearm in survival.

It mostly covers some major axis like :

-Safety (or nurturing needs).
-Influence/power (or individuality needs).
-food procurement (hunting).
-fire (powder).
-Water treatment (see fire above).

Those realms are paramount to survival.
In fact, with the exception of first aid, a firearm takes care of our most basic psychological and physiological needs.

It can only fulfill those needs if you know how to use it and have it with you when you need it.

Well...obviously.

Pointing out the painfully obvious is a propensity I have worked hard at.
