Bad interpretation/use of statistics is a pet peeve of mine

A MUST for my survival kit:::::: 1) A healthy half ounce of some of the finest hydroponicly grown skunk weed I can find, 1 to calm my nerves and 2 the smell will alert anyone close by.

2) As my friend Paul Dallas suggested an REI tin bottle of some very intense moonshine....oh yeah

3) the latest edition of club magazine and an old wool sock

4) the biggest bag of cheetos they make......I think it is a 24oz bag......mmmmm, and also a great item for making a trail

5) a Ronco pocket fisherman

6) a gray plastic bag from Walmart to harness the amazing survival kit

At least you might die happy. What good is the Club magazine if it is dark outside?

There is no empirical evidence that supports the theory that having "survival" gear increases your chance of living in a desperate situation.

I was wonder what bodily oriface he pulled that one out of. That is a "statistic" without any support.

Yes, Like the one about 90% of car accidents happen within 5 miles of your home. ( because that's where you drive 90% of the time).

or how about 80% of fish are caught within 10 ft of the bank.

TSmith you should consider a metal coffee can with a roll of toilet paper stuffed in it. Saturate it with alcohol and make sure it has O2 and you have safe heater with fuel that's safe to carry.

I had to pass over the Cascades twice a week for a couple of years and I kept one in the truck all the time.

Good call.

Yeah -- I always unclick the seatbelt and crack a beer when I get beyond the five mile perimeter.
