That's because you're following that rule number one and using the most important part of your body, which has seen more development over the last 200k years than any other (in fact to the detriment of many of the basic survival skills)

Just my choice of zip code beats 99% of conventional preppers in terms of scenarios I can cope with very effectively.
Of course, just like everything else it comes at a certain cost.

One Second After: William R. Forstchen, William D. Sanders, Newt Gingrich: 9780765356864: Amazon.com: Books

This is a really good read, and an eyeopener to anyone that doesn't understand survival,, It is fiction, but well written and full of many facts, much better entertainment then reading dry boring Survival Manuals / Guides...

@ChrisL, it also gives some pretty factual descriptions of what will happen within 90 days of having no power, and the issues that people with medical complications will face. Of course it is based on the US but would pertain to pretty much any modern industrialized country...
