Agreed KN........ but I would surely think one would want to be in the best physical condition possible. Guys like Tyger-mag and others are spot on I would think <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. What is a SURVIVO MAN ? Bear with me as I am old and not up on some of the cyber characters. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Thank You <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
Survivorman is a cable/satellite show where the host goes alone into remote areas with little equipment and survives for a week, recording what happens. The host is a perfect example of survival fitness, as he’s actually quite fit but always packs on a layer of fat before heading out.
So yes, good conditioning IS essential, but having ready supplied that don’t require handling or preparation is also nice.
Problem is, unlike Survivorman, you never know when you’re going to have to survive, so how would you know when to pack on a fat layer? My solution: always carry a modest supply pack. Not that it was part of a plan, but as long as it’s there, I might as well claim it has some function.
