Basicaly I feel like a have decent enough skills to live off the land for a while, I keep a grab bag in my car and one in my house with a survivle kit, first aid kit, a good knife, an extra pair of clothes, and a set of camping cooking suplies. 90% of the time I am armed. With this I am confident I can atleast make it back to my place for more supplies.
With that said the only thing I would have to worrie about is having to get to base(being in the national guard if shit hits the fan I will be ordered to base). Having to go to base and leave my family I know they they like many other americans are not prepared at all.
Survivle strategies to think about when you think about gathering food like hunting guns and ammo might not be the best way, a bow is far supperior in this situation. Food is a must but you will not survive long at all without water. You should always be prepared to boil, and or purify water to drink. A good survivel guide is a must, you may not know anything about survivle but you will atleast be able to have the information somewhere.
Later I will post my survivle grab bag and ideas on what should be in it. Its a great thing to have, I can't tell you how many times iv used the first aid kit for cuts and stopping nose bleeds from drinking accidents lol.
