I don't know how far that sort of thinking will actually get you. Humans are social animals, and for the most part work best in groups. No one person can possibly know everything that could conceivably come in handy in a survival situation. Imagine bugging out. You pass a person stranded by the side of the road who clearly needs a ride. You leave them to die. Turns out they were a surgeon, or a master carpenter, or a mechanic, and later on you needed medical help, or you need to build a cabin, or your car breaks down. Seems to me the best course of action is to help where feasable as long as it's safe to do so. Not only is it good for the soul but it just might be good for survival as well. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
