Challenging the notion that faith literature is inappropriate for a 72 hour kit:

-survival in the medium to long term is arguably a group effort. Faith-based groups offer the occupational heterogeneity necessary to provide a wide and flexible communal skill-set.

-faith-based survival groupings have a shared set of values and behavioral norms that will promote inter-group harmony and ethical and merciful treatment of strangers.

-everybody believes in something: If the gospel according to Doug Ritter or Bear Grylls is reasonably included in a kit, why not include some of the older sacred texts?

-there is more to survival than building a fire.

-and if there is not more to survival than building a fire, faith literature makes dandy tinder.

I realize that the sheriff may nuke this, and I would understand it perfectly: faith literature might be the most hazardous of concealed weapons, and ccw has no place here...
