I did not say you were afraid of sasquatch or the boogie man and I did not say you were a coward either!
I was not trying to be offensive or ridicule with my questions however I probably should not of asked them on a very public forum. 
LOL Not a problem!  <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
 You have extreme ideas about survival, a burning desire to achieve superior skills, which is great. That can only lead to good things. 
Unless I get sick from unpurified water.  <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
 You have a strong motivation to learn these skills for a reason and I think it is good idea to understand the real reason you are here. That's all. 
Uhhhh... Are you a shrink?  <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
 I am well aware of the value of a knife and a kit. But they also can give you a false sense of security.  
Um ya ... that's why I am working towards no kit.
 I think experience is the one best teachers it will help you to respect the knowledge when it comes.  
Uhhhhh ya ... I agree.   Once again... this is why I do this to begin with!
 Knowledge and experience will certainly keep you alive allot longer than that knife will.  
You're suggesting I go naked and empty-handed instead of taking such unnecessary luxuries as a knife?  LOL  <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I believe it!  Trust me!  <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
