A man's got to know his limitations - "Dirty" Harry Calahan
Do you know your personal limits?
How long can you go without food before you lose focus and/or effectiveness ?
What about water? Its reaaaly easy to get dehydrated and lose your mental edge/processing power.
How much physical exertion before you tire?
How much dead weight can you lift? How much load can you cary over a long distance?
How many nights can you sleep on the ground before your back knots up?
How long can go without showering before you're grossed out?
How much campfire food can you eat before your system rebells? MREs before your system shuts down?
What are you willing to eat once the food runs out?
How hot can it get before you can't hack it? How long can you function in very cold weather?
How long can you go without contact with another human before you go stir crazy?
How far are you really willing to go to protect your family? Friends? Casual acquaintances? Strangers?
Just a bunch of random thoughts. Prob no way to know some of them in advance. Its good to think them through if you can't test the limits ahead of time.
