Yep - LDS in particular have a strong sense of being prepared. But you ccan’t carry yourbasement on your back, much less fight with it.

What I’ve offered here is a basic, on your feet, get out of Dodge kit that works pretty well for me. Total weight is right around 45 pounds. Any reasonably fit backpacker can haul that. I’m not fit enough to carry the 80 to 120 pound rucks that some of our troops do. But for 3-5 days, this will do.

As far as I remember of the LDS folks I have known they don't believe in self defense at all. Someone correct me if I am mistaken.
