“Countless millions will protest against the New World Order, and will die fightingit

Can you kill a big beast without a gun? Can you cut clean a carcass without contaminate it? Can you contain Fresh DRINKABLE water? Can you separate poison from an animal or plant so you can use it and eat the remaining? Do you know what plants are poisonous and which isn't and how to handle everything properly? How to consume right, not to over-consume but taking care of every part of an animal? To settle a proper and safe camp? How to use rain and storms to your advantage? How to take care of an infectious scar without proper medication? List is long :tongue:

Kill a beast w/gun: I'd rather a snare, or to fish, most who think about survival would know enough not to track a large prey unless they were guaranteed it would produce meat and that they would have enough people to consume it before it rotter, or supplies to preserve it etc. etc.

Cut and clean: Yes, squirrels, rabbits, fish, VERY easy to clean properly

Drinkable water: Fairly simple with filters, and if no filters boiling or distilling

Separate poison: There's generally not an awful lot of poison to worry about in the climates I am familiar with, also, I know what parts of the plants are edible, and which aren't

Plant knowledge: Much, not complete, but I've got a good idea of quite a few wild edibles in my surroundings

Consume right: I know, don't currently practice, but I do know

Proper camp: known since I was ten, and no I'm not talking about a nylon dome tent and a gasoline-lit fire

Storms advantage: No not really, how to weather storms yes, but I guess I don't know how to utilize them to full potential

Infection: Sphagnum moss... very simple, some form grows in almost all climates, it is naturally antibiotic and very easy to identify, furthermore it's greatly absorptive in the case of lots of bleeding

Lastly if you cared to have read through that list I'd like to say that those are honest answers and that even if not, my original statement was that of learning to do these things, I would like to some day be fully self sufficient and off the grid, at the moment I'm simply gaining knowledge to attain this goal... furthermore in regards to the whole of the world... maybe not everyone, but some, my original response was countering the idea that none have learned these skills, I was simply pointing out that there are people who have the knowledge and will survive if/when our fall comes.
