Hello,
The objective of survival for me: Survive.
While my survival objectives do not include the example excerices, my experience tells me that I am unlikley to be in a survival scenario which develops in accordance with any plan I made. That is why I pose the questions. my post is not meant to slight any particular persons fitness level, but rather determine if the typical person realistically takes into account thier fitness level when developing a plan or stragegy for survival.
You state "The objective is the have the necessary gear and knowledge to facilitate these needs."
I agree fully... How much of this gear can you carry if you need to move locations suddenly on foot? Would that be a possibilty?
Perhaps you are caring for an elderly or infirm relative, will your strength and endurance change the way in which you plan to deal with that persons mobilty? How?
Just Curious...
