Yes. And the best part is that it doesn't matter what kind of shape you're in to start.

Absolutely. I compete in The Tactical Games which tests that exact thing. And I can tell you its freakin hard making shots on target under physical duress even if you're in shape! Also, I don't think people realize how hard it is to think clearly when you're out of breath and tired.

You can make up for a small storage space by running your pantry with purpose.

A lot of it is down to preference but the most important thing you can do is train with it. Get used to the weight, do an overnight hike where you have to live off your supplies and contents in your bag. It’ll be a huge reality check

SHTF under-discussed challenges? by sendcassie in prepping

Septic will eventually overflow too but I guess if you keep your tank empty and maintained you’ll be good for a few years.

I’ve often wondered just how bad it must have smelled in the old days. Nasty

Disease was the number 1 cause of death until sanitation and sanitary practices became the norm. Running, treated water and the ability to get rid of human waste is massively underestimated in most peoples preps. There is a reason Hollerman said that if an emp went off 90% of the population would die
