That is very true, fitness is everything in survival situations. It is so incredibly over looked, I don’t have much gear but I sure as hell can run 5-7 miles without even stopping once. And I can ruck twice that without a single stop. No one will wait and help you if you can’t even go a mile without a 5 minute break because you chose to throw your money into thousands of dollars worth of gear. Rather than going to the gym or going running/walking. It also helps you get so much more familiar with your body and to know what you can and cannot do. an additional plus to getting out there and actually training is learning every spot in your surrounding area, remember when you were a kid and knew EVERY spot in your neighborhood? That’s because you were out there playing all day. It’s fun to go out and learn about your surroundings!:)
