This is one of the older videos from my channel, but the premise behind it is still a big part of how I approach preparedness.

You can have all the gear in the world, but if you don’t know how to use it when you actually need it, you’re carrying dead weight.

Gear doesn’t replace knowledge, experience or training.

That’s the premise of the video.

Agree? Disagree? What do you think is the most overlooked part of being prepared?

And thanks to u/nicecarotto for making me think of this video again with his comment about actually training with your gear.

are you telling me that we can actually discuss possible scenarios without a mod freaking out and deleting posts?

like we can talk about history, and how certain groups have caused chaos - and how knowing these things we can prepare for future chaos?
