Preppers put too Much Importance on Their Gear
This is one of the top questions that Off Grid Survival receives from new readers, it’s also something that takes away from what you should be focusing on, knowledge.
Newbies, and even some old timers, often obsess over their gear. They sometimes put so much emphasis on stockpiling gear that it can actually start to hinder their ability to survive without it.
We love survival gear as much as the next guy, but the problem highlights something I see in all aspects of society; our culture has become addicted to the quick and easy fix. In survival that doesn’t exist. There’s no silver bullet, there’s no magic piece of gear, and nothing except good old fashion knowledge and training will improve your odds of surviving a disaster.
One thing about SHTF Marketing is that we strive to provide our readers with new information. We agree with Rob here because knowledge is key. We understand that gear is important, it is important to know and understand the gear as well. But gear is not the where all to be all.
