<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That’s an old saying in the military. ; In a nutshell it means be prepared. ; You have to objectively think about what the mission needs, possible obstacles, consumable items you can run out of, risks to equipment or personnel. ; You going camping? ; Might need a tent, might need a sleeping bag, might need a source of heat, You might also need a shit ton of diarrhea medicine cause you didn&#8217;t properly think about having a source of potable water. ; You need a way to purify that water you can make sure that heat source is an open flame so bring matches, a lighter, and a magnifying glass so you have multiple ways to start a fire based on the situations your facing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Essentially whenever you have a finite resource make sure you have either a large back stockpile of supplies or an easy way to replenish those resources. ; If you can’t make either of those happen look for ways you can make something else work. ; ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Being efficient is something I greatly respect sometimes one item can take the place of many. Having a specialty tool is great, it usually makes whatever task your doing so much easier but its not exactly practical to carry a sledge into the woods with you so you can drive stakes into the ground. ; What&#8217;s something that you could take in place that could double in other areas? ; Off the top of my head heres something you can use that you dont even have to carry with you; a big fucking rock. ; You can drive those stakes easily with that, you can use a rock as an anchor, you can use a rock as a weapon, you can use a rock as a mortar and pestle, you can use a rock as a pillow if you’re man enough. ; Be efficient, Be prepared. ;  ; Be the person who is always ready, those people are everyone’s best friend.</p>
