I've basically resigned myself to this duty. I'm the one that can keep poo poo going, when the poo poo hits the fan.

Your 'readiness' kits would kick in at a time when you're going to be hosed in the end anyway. You'll survive 72 hours longer than me, with the last 48 of them being paranoid as poo poo that someone is going to kill you for your backpack.

That's why people think it's stupid.

That's cool and all, but my kit is designed to sustain me until emergency services can arrive. My area is prone is natural disasters.

But that's cool to know you have 0 reading comprehension.

I'm going to go on a limb and assume that all of you idiots who don't keep these things have never lived in the North when roads can get jammed up?

Not really. Look at the flooding in Colorado when people were cut off from supplies for a few days. I mean, I'm sure there are DOOMSDAY preppers who think the lizard people are taking over, but it's really not that crazy to keep emergency medical supplies and water around the house. :shrug:

Where in the north do you live where roads can get snowed in that's also prone to natural disasters that would require a zombie survival kit?

I got to try my friend's Glock 19. It was really ugly, but the sights were surprisingly good, and it was the most accurate gun I shot today so IDK.

If there are any of you who have never fired guns I feel so sorry for you.

0% of the people I know who have this attitude have ever in their lives laced up a pair of boxing gloves and stood in front of another person who has done the same and been punched by that person and if they did 99.9% of them would quit like bitches after one round of sparring
