One thing everyone should keep in mind is our individuality, like your large frame. All of this accumulated knowledge at ETS and other resources is just that; accumulated. We all need to sort through it like so many piles of neat stuff at an old surplus store and find what (we hope) fits.What works for one person may not work quite as well for someone else.And no scenario will play out exactly like another. We just aren't going to casually set up a shelter, make 3 signal fires and then cook Earl Grey over an ESBIT stove lit with a SPARKLITE every time a Volcano erupts or our Piper Cub crashes in Alaska. Kits and our mental preparations should be in a constant state of refinement. And then we probably still screw up somewhere. The important thing is to do enough things right so that the tobasco sauce and Kendall Mint cake on Turkey Jerky casserole doesn't kill us anyway.
