Right off the bat, for 90% of the population, it’s kind of a waste of time.

Compass?
Who the heck in suburban Denver or whatever needs a compass?

Most of the population won’t benefit from these items, because what they need is stockpiles of food, fuel, and medical supplies.

I guess what I’m saying is this is sort of a Rambo type of solution. And the folks in the cities are at the most peril. The folks in the country will hunker down and shoot anything that moves.

But thanks for reminding me.
I need to get a compass!

You are correct - for perhaps more than 90% of the population, this information is of no value. They lack the training, the motivation, the will to live, the preparation and the destination to make this work.

I guess what I’m saying is this is sort of a Rambo type of solution.

Nope - it's a "I'm heading home or to my rally point no matter what" type of solution. Just because you're willing to fight doesn't make you a Rambo.

I'm one of those 'folks in the country' heading back to where I belong, to defend me and mine and to manage to live through what's coming at us all. Can't say that about the 90+ % of the monkeys who will be starving once the jobs and the government pellet machine stops dropping thier pellets.
