I don't post a lot in anything other than selling and buying, but the survival stuff has always interested me. However, one thing that has always bothered me is so many people post about stockpiling this and say they would "hike up the nearest mountain" and so on, but many of those same posters are what many people would consider to be overweight, out of shape, and/or obese to the point it would greatly affect their ability to survive. Obviously I am not talking about everyone, but I believe physical fitness is a major factor to consider when dealing with a "long term survival" type situation. Accordingly, it should just as important as gathering supplies. Nobody wants to have to worry about whether or not good ole Billy Bob is going to keep up if you are traveling as a group and have to move to a better vantage point (however, I suppose if you had to he might make a better meal). Anyways that's just my 2 cents and I'm nobody important! I'd like to hear what you guys think. Thanks!
