Ah, much better analogy.
One thing about this site, it isn't just wilderness survival/bugging out to the boonies. There's a lot of people who come here to learn how to calculate what size generator they would need after a hurricane, how to make an emergency shelter if trapped in their office building, what information should they have copies of in a safe-deposit box in case of a house fire, and other equally valid, gear-based quests for knowledge. Over time we actually cover everything from animal attacks to Zulu hide-tanning techniques. Stick around for a few years and you'll see a lot of your statements were just based on too small of a sample size.
I am looking forward to your future "basic skills" posts.
