Thread: You're Dreaming if You Think:

  1. #1

    Default You're Dreaming if You Think:

    You’re Dreaming if you think:

    Altoid tin with rubbers, safety pins and a razor blade is going to save your life.

    That wire saws are a serious tool for cutting wood.

    A 22 is all the gun you’ll ever need for big or dangerous game.

    Eating bugs adds enough to your diet to make a difference.

    A practical fishing kit fits in a film canister.

    That you can carry 70 pounds of gear day in, day out, day after day.

    There is more I just wanted to get the list started. What kinds of things seem absolutely ridicules to you? It would be my desire that each person only list things they find absurd and not respond or argue the merits of other posts. Please don’t feel the need to convince anybody.

    You're dreaming if you think:

    There is one knife that does it all perfectly.

    You can drink running water without treating it first.

    You will always have nice weather.

    It will always be easy to start a fire and keep it going.

    You're dreaming if you think the batteries in your GPS, flashlight, iPOD, cell phone, or radio can't fail.

    You're dreaming if you think that pre stored foods are anything other than an interim bridge to planting, growing your own (long term)

    You're dreaming if you think you'll be able to make it WTSHTF while you have a hard time making it when all's well.

    You're dreaming if you think that a BOB with everything in it but the kitchen sink, trumps a fit body and a sound mind.

    You're dreaming if you think...

    That one person knows everything about Survival!

    That you can go out in the woods in a cold weather climate with just a knife & the Clothes on your back! You'll just be a poorly dressed corpse!

    That Bear Grylls has a clue as to what he's talking about or that he's any kind of a Survival expert!

    If you think Sourdough is going to miss that "doorless outhouse!"

    That drinking urine is a good thing to do in a survival situation.

    You need not justify it in this thread, just state what you find redicules. It is kind of different not having to debate your views.

    you're dreamin' if you think
    - that you can survive off the land in a large scale 'hunger' situation, whatever that may be.
    - that your garden-in-a-can will sustain you and your family if you have not prepared a plot to plant it in (that's up to an acre folks, usually at least 1/2 acre recommended.)
    - that the other hungry folks out there aren't gonna want what you have.

    You're dreaming if because you can't do something it cannot be done or that if you have not seen something it cannot exist.

    care to explain how the indians (natives) survived for thousands of years before us?

    @OP

    you are dreaming if you think you can go survive in the woods after watching all the seasons of survivorman, or worse, man vs wild

    You're dreaming if you think that the world doesn't have more people on it now than it did thousands of years ago.
