  1.  @joenathan8059  may I also suggest you set some money aside each payday for saving towards goals? A good quality water filter is a good start. I suggest a 'sawyer mini'.

  2.  @joenathan8059  may I suggest you start rewording that? "every Saturday morning I will try to make a fire for 20 minutes." for example :) This will switch a dream to a plan, a goal to an organised plan :)

  3. Practice, at every opportunity :) Small habits add up.

  5. A 72 hour bag is not a bug out bag. It is for the less experienced/less hardcore IMHO... Like myself... Used for emergency evacuation on a local scale. For example during a bushfire threat. To evacuate and potentially stay elsewhere in a hotel, camping on a community oval in a safer area, camping in the car... That sort of thing.

  6. It's still worth having a contingency.. In case you need to temporarily evaluate due to flooding, earthquake etc

  7. Sounds heavy and cumbersome to carry? Have you tested it overnight hiking?

  8.  @monelfunkawitz3966  I don't need balls, I'm a lady... I'm built differently :) Ever noticed statistically, throughout history women live longer? Ever wondered why? Work smarter... Live longer. If you are injured, or carrying a loved one... That unnecessary suffering from carrying your 'indestructible' option could prove regrettable. Having something to carry it in maybe worth considering. A second hand hiking pack maybe worth exploring? In any case, I wish you all the best :)

  9.  @monelfunkawitz3966  I'm puzzled as to what I said which gave you the impression I lack 'toughness'? I'm simply trying to point out that a hands free carry option for your gear maybe worth considering :)

  10. If you are sunburnt, please consider putting chamomile tea in a spray bottle... Cooled in fridge, spray on sunburn :)
