Being recently crippled for the time being, I kept wondering at preps that would improve my fighting chances in a SHTF situation (recently I found myself in one) and got to thinking. I got more ammo, planned on bugging in the next few years and beefed up my at-home stuff and got a better bug out vehicle to replace my beloved (and thoroughly destroyed) CR-V. I updated my bug out bags to be light on my poor legs, thinned out the non essentials and lightened up. So far so good. I am actually meaner than I used to be in terms of survival; actually willing to kill anyone caught in my path now at the drop of a hat- I have to be much more stealthy and twice as ruthless as I was before to compensate. That being said, I have to adjust to being a softer, less capable prepper. AS a prepper, I (and all of you) find that fairly unacceptable. But then I got thinking.
Cats have claws, dogs got teeth, scorpions have stingers and yet we are still the most dangerous weapon on god's green earth. Why is that? We got brains. So I set to using my brain.
What I ended up with for a new EDC was a complete shelter/survival kit concealed within my favorite walking cane. It can make fire, be a tent, a fishing pole, form a shelter, provide me with simple tools, help me trap game, stop my bleeding and even direct me back toward my home.
I urge anyone here who is disabled or needs a cane to check this out- and if this is you, consult me immediately. I built this thing in 2 hours front to back, planning and all. I cannot wait to set a camp in the woods and show the world that even a cripple will outlast and out-do the sheeple given a simple cane full of tricks. Young bucks take notice- this one is for the old-schoolers.
