    Its amazing how few people understand that concept, how few "get it" and especially how few utilize it.

    Its fine to have one,
    Its fine to be proud of it,
    But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
    And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.

    An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

    I scored a 50...but not because I'm an expert in any of the fields. I mostly scored due to location, food and water, weapons and ammo storage, and due to owning a superior RV.
    "Teach the children quietly
    For someday sons and daughters
    Will rise up and fight while we stood still"

    I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me.

    I think you meant "In spite of owning an RV"

    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Cat's are food... not friends!

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.

    Still give an idea of some areas to work harder on.
    Lot of emphasis on physical items versus training and knowledge. Many of us have the knowledge to survive any number of emergencies. Those who do can improvise and adapt to a situation if they have that knowledge.
    It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.

    agreed ... anybody that's involved in large project planning knows that everything is great until the action begins - then crap starts hitting the fan - you need fall back plans and the ability to think on your feet & improvise .... just tends to be the nature of things

    Want us to come up there and slap him around a little and call him "Sally"? .......OK you know I'm kidding, WE are and always will be here for ya, just keep us posted as usual. Maybe we'll cause a mini............ok skip that. I wish I had his confidence, guess I was playing in the wrong rec room.
