Ray Mears does a great job of teaching how to make just about everything you need from natural materials but if poo hits the fan we won't have time to acquire 20 years of bushcraft knowledge.
I think knowledge and understanding how it can put to use in different scenarios is much more beneficial. You can't just read up on it though; it must be practiced.
In the first Rambo movie; where he just about destroys the town has some lessons, although the movie is sometimes panned. What he did was never pretty but it was effective. He didn't have to think through every decision, he was trained. I should say I'm not advocating the violence simply the quick methods he used to get things done.
Another problem I find is in my own advice. I realize when I finish a post that someone else has probably covered it better and that the advice/review should be much longer to give the reader the true perspective.
Preparedness, Survival or whatever you call it; is a work in progress and no one knows for sure how it will play out. All we have are educated guesses. I still think it's important to do because to not plan is a guarantee of failure.

14 years ago @ The Survival Mom - Can you prep too much? · 0 replies · +1 points
When you put in down on paper and prioritize it's easy to see where the gaps are and that helps with the budgeting. The cost of all this preparing can add up to quite a bit. Food is probably the easiest to start with but when you get into the "gear" area it can amount to major dollars especially if you have to equip seven people.

Of course my parents had all those pioneer skills, I'm brushing up on those but hope I don't have to use them. Also something I've not heard mentioned is if you're bugging out over hill and dale, you might be going through someone else's property. That could prove dangerous in some cases. If you stick to the roads you might be stopped or worse... Surviving during a meltdown situation will be a lot more complicated than having a well stocked backpack and some MREs.
