What are you gonna do if you ever lose your hands, Sean? Your sex life will evaporate.



So is this it? All you pussies have been doing to harden yourselves for survival? Has any of you even carried a lousy day pack for at least a mile recently?

Well at the mo I'm sussing out bug out locations, such as caves and old mines, there's a couple of old gold and copper mines about 15Km away and many caves only known to a few farmers and locals, some nobody knows about, haven't found any with aboriginal rock art yet. Caves are pretty easy to find, key is to find one above the flooding level. Old mines are last resort, too much mercury, arsenic and cyanide in the ground water, which was used for gold extraction, plus they're prone to collapse.

At home I know where all the dead ground is, so that's an advantage there, so I'll only go to a bug out point if the sky's going to fall, or if we're being invaded.

Humping it by foot would also be my last resort as I'd have to bring the kiddly winks and wife along. hahahaha

Yes hardening or battle hardening what ever you want to call it is good thing, at least you know your body can handle it, if push comes to shove. If you want to make it harder or mix it up, try doing it with sleep and food deprivation for about 3 days straight, you know your there when you start hallucinating. Alternatively do the 100 clicker (62 miles) in 24hrs with 50Kg (110pounds), plus weapon and munitions adds another 7-16KG (14 -40 pounds) and it's a real pain in the arse not being able to swing your arms naturally. Now that is hard shit, thank fuck I don't have to do that any more.
