The first few though weren't thinking in Quantity or quality, and some learned and adjusted their thinking accordingly. Ken and I both almost simultaneously said the same thing,for the same reason(Yeah I know that is scary I said so already) But the others hadn't been thinking about quantity, quality and multipurpose uses. Sooo they have learned to adjust their thinking accordingly. It just might help them further down the road.
I look at it this way, right now my Camping pots and my kitchen cooking pots are (with a few exceptions) one and the same. Since I can't keep them packed and ready to go all the time. I have to keep them in the back of my mind "just in case". Some are just starting out and it serves as a lesson in what and why, as they may not have anything but household items. Or given a really bad true life possibility... Tornado,hurricane, Earthquake and they have to scrounge for what they need they have an idea of what priority and why. I.E. Your home INCLUDING your BOB is destroyed by a Tornado, but you and family make it out OK. What and where and why do you grab what you can and what should you be looking for? Wheeew! that is a lot!!
