hopeak....it's fine to have "all the conviences of home" in your survival gear. unfortioatlly( sorry about spelling) it doesn't do a bit of good it you can't use it. Would you buy a new $ 100,000 superduper, macdaddy,tractor and not learn how to start it or put it in gear? i doubt it but some people do that with survival gear. How amny have fancy "new gear" still in the box/package?Quote:

I've offered to help them set up or/and test the gear but they say they don't want to open the gear until they need it! OOOKKAAAYYY!!! i test run my gensets monthly. Stoves etc at least quarterly.
Glad you liked 'em, amazing what's on Google isn't it.:cool2:Quote:

i think we all like our comfort, why is it we prepare? we store food and supplies so that our lives are not interupted to much in tough times. as far as bush comfort.....i have many times trained hard to lower my idea of comfort spending nights on the side of the trail, no fire,food or shelter, just sleep a bit where i lay,wether it be spring summer fall or winter, i am not fond of going 3 days w/o food, which is why i study wild edibles so prolifically. i have found that if it is cold ,wet damp snowy, and you are tired from fatigue of exertsion and lack of sleep and hunger hits it is far more diffucult to accomplish you tasks and your emotions can get the best of you , which can be very dangerous, so i put myself into those positions so when for real i encounter these opportunities, i can step back for a minute and breahte and tell myself,"been here before old son, you are the pro act like it and get er done" then i know what sand i am made of and that it won't kill me only make me stronger, this is how i choose to live and train, it is not for everyone, most here will never even try, and nothing wrong with that, i am just cut from a different mold as is hopeak and jason montana and eugene and some others, some are harder than me some are softer, i am what i am, but if you don't live it, you won't survive it.
good thread pops
Make mine a Heineken. Ice cold. Tall frosted mug. And maybe a side of Nachos. And some pot-stickers. And some oysters, little necks, and peel 'n eat shrimp. And maybe some calamari with hot pepper rings, and maybe.......Quote:

I have. And my surroundings were probably 50 degres warmer than yours generally are.
sure, asked myself that when i joined the army same as when i got married same as when i sleep in the mosquito infested swamp with the moose, but the answer is always the same, cuz i like to want to and the end result is knowing i can mentally and physically make it thru, and i am sure i will be pshyco analyzed for my desire to do this, but i am not your typical person i thrive on adversity what most compalin about i draw strenght from, did this answer what you were looking for counsel?
Yep! Thanks, that answered my question. I'm chuckling. Folks thought I was nuts for doing the things I've done. Now I'm gonna' have to tell them about you. :innocent:
In fact, we are talking about stress.
More accurately one needs self confidence (obviously this does work as a stress reducer). A state of mind that in this type of scenario is derived from life experiences , including but not limited to practicing tasks, when ever possible scenarios (even in practice they would go off script). When a person is as comfortable as possible with the various tasks, they in general will react more confidently when the SHTF
Or...when a person has changed his state of mind, they will react more confidently, more coherently, more appropriately...to anything.
True confidence on a mental level allows one to engage in social intercourse, discussions, and other interactions without allowing the interaction to wander, be judgemental or digress to an inappropriate level. On the physical level , tasks are simplier and are more easily "chained"to complete necessary tasks.
I was gonna' go out for a pizza later. But I'm gettin' mighty hungry now. Maybe I'll toss a frozen pizza in the oven. Spread some onions, sardines, and anchovies on top. That's a great combination. Anyone here ever try one of them?Quote:

Being judgemental is a human characteristic under all circumstances. When a person is confident, they need not be judgemental in an aggressive manner, doing so leads to the stiffling of others thoughts and quests for information. Being judgmental in an aggressive way is a display of Arrogance in its grossest form. As a life long team member, leader and facilitator I have always seen that those who are judgmental in a non aggressive manner and confident in thier own abilities make the best team membersQuote:

If you ever bake stuff 'em, I've got a recipe for you. Can't post it now, though. Gotta' be signing off soon.Quote:

So true, being ostracized for lack of social skills negates any possible wisdom that you may be able to contribute. And sharing information is what life should be about, at least on the basic level.Quote:

Unless, of course, that lack of social skills includes flicking boogers or spitting at other team members.Quote:

ray mears did an episode on this a few years back, that is what got me interested in this movieQuote:
