I personally did not care for Dogsofwar's post. Not that I disagree with him at all, but by posting his experiences he may enlighten some of the Walter Mitty/Rambo types.

In the footsteps of Gunkid, I personally look on those people as a source of supplies, to be looted from their dumbfounded corpses when they realize that living off the land is a hard-learned skill. And that even those with the necessary experience and fortitude can die of hunger and exposure.

To Dogsofwar, I say thanks a lot. Now I have to up my preps.
