i dont plan on a nuclear war either, but i must have been having an off day to let it get to me like that.
like joblot said:
I'm forever learning learning new skills and aquiring knowledge. (everything from building shelters to learning how fast I 'm going to hit the ground whilst trapped in a falling elevator!). Above all though its peace of mind, a kind of alternative investment plan which I hope will never get used.
and sguidos quote
"It's better to have the skills and not need them, than to need the skills and not have them."
that sums up how i usually feel about learning new skills and buying any new gear.
its the journey not the destination.
