I wasn't trying to misunderstand. I did overlook that one statement and for that I appologize. My statement was merely made to say that in the population as a whole, I don't think there's a big difference between male and female preparedness. I think that the vast majority of both sexes is ill prepared and I think statistically it's a very minute difference.

I know alot of people who think they can survive, both men and women, but I know very few who could actually do it. The hunters I know, while indeed predominately men, wouldn't fare any better than most of the women I know. Their idea of survival is wearing camoflage clothing and sitting in a tree stand waiting on that 14 point buck to walk by. There are indeed differences in the way men and women view survival, but in the end, if the information is faulty, then the outcome is the same. Dead is dead regardless of how they got that way.
