I would agree. It's akin to the "hand fighting vs gun fighting" thread earlier today. Many think a firearm is some sort of magical talisman that relieves them of the need to stay in shape. |

Been there done that on everything you listed.

ETA: Of course I didn't stop drinking and drugging due to SHTF. I did it because I didn't wanna stick a shot gun in my mouth.

Like everything in life vices are usually only a vice if taken to excess.
I don't eat at Burger King or MickeyD's. Taco Bell is about as evil as my fast food tastes get. I like a glass of wine or a cocktail from time to time.....but I don't drink every day. I don't smoke cigarettes for all the obvious reasons but an occasional cigar is pleasant and not out of the question. And while I stopped chasing tail years ago looking is still allowed. I plan for "SHTF" for the same reason I have a 403b and put a percentage of my savings into bullion while keeping foodstuffs on hand. Just in case. You never know what the future will bring......plan for retirement....and plan for never being able to retire. |

If you get to that point, you would almost trade your soul not to go when it's time. It's easy to discount those years while you're young, but not many people welcome death, especially those who truly enjoyed life. |

While ammo and guns and being in decent shape are a big part of survival, the three of them together aren't as important as developing your mind.

Because intake of moderate quantities of these substances isn't going to effect your health.
Drinking 1-2 drinks a day is better for you than not drinking, there are thousands fo studies that prove it. Smoking daily or often is bad, so it using chewing tobacco, but smoking a cigar once a month is going to kill you, and it is going to have little effect on your health. Not any more than eating charbroiled meat. Using small amount of drugs both legal or illegal isn't going to hurt you either. That way it is legal to prescribe legal amounts of all illegal drugs in some form or another. Eating fast food once a month or even once a week isn't going to effect your health one bit either. You can argue this until you are blue in the face, but there are thousands of scientific studies to show that you are wrong. |

How do folks who are severely handicapped enter into your theory. I'm not saying either really. My post is less of a statement and more of a question. Are fat people who drink and smoke well equipped for a survival situation? No. I brought a buddy of mine up a decent sized trail, he puked in 5 minutes. Am I saying it's pointless? Not at all. I was curious as to why some people prepare for SHTF but neglect the most important thing, their bodies. I guess it's easier to just buy gear. Handicapped people? I don't know how that got brought up... They do the best they can. |
