    Not a chance ....(dang I've called Rick so many names in the past I can't think of a new one to call him...oh well so much for my temper tantrum)
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    We had an intended topic? What was it?
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    From the looks of this thread, he'd be better off alone. Otherwise he might be talked to death. What a horrible way to go.

    Cool Okay guys....!

    Let's all pull in the claws, place those fangs back under those furry lips, & have a round of "Cow Pee" on me! (Wait! Did I really say that?)
    Group Hug! Let's all kiss & make up! No? Okay, show of hands, who wants to beat Remy to a pulp? (Counting furiously) Wow! Okay, who wants to find Youth Pastor? (Counts briefly) Just me? Oh well; who wants to mail Sarge you're Morels? Aw c'mon guys! Cow pee anybody?

    [QUOTE=remy;103163 To be serious for a minute...
    The answer to the original question is as often : "it depends", and most likely anyway, we will, god forbid we were ever in a survival situation, never really have a choice in the matter. We will have to adapt to whatever the circumstance is, and overcome a lot of things...[/QUOTE]

    Remy's right. Flexibility and willingness to do what has to be done to survive is the key. You probably will not know until the time of decision if you're capable of making the decision. It would probably be personal and not something you could project yourself in to. No arm chair quarter backing so to speak for some situations. I guess I'm saying, how can we judge another without being in their shoes.

    Does this mean I might have to squeeze the juice out of elephant poop like Baer Grylls?

    Sarge made the offer, he should do the squeezing, but hey Ken and Crash get first taste right? QC department, and yeah, I have to agree with Remy's last post, although I guess I should tell him, I printed his pic, made a bunch of copies and have been using it for a target for months now (don't worry Remy, I never hit your wife)

    a group can be a blessing or a hinderence but is usually somewhere in between Iam and have always been a loner not much for crowds and in my opinion more then 2-3 people would be a hinderence
