Your best survival creedos

Take what ya can give nothing back

The thread is about survivalist credos, not pirates of the Caribbean credos.

One of my favourite all around life credos is, "Keep an open mind, but not so open that people mistake it for a trash can and toss garbage into it."

Change your socks and drink water....

 

[CathyInBlue]

But not the same water you clean your socks in.

Who said anything about wasting water to wash with....

Jeremy sterilizes his sicks with pee. Rotates them once the smell goes away.

Ole dad had several that apply to general life and can be applied to survival, I'd say. These spring to mind:

Never trust a person that smiles all the time.

Never trust a horse trader.

"Beware the man with only one gun...."

"Beware the man with only one gun...."

Can you explain that one?

 

[IndyDave1776]

Can you explain that one?

The full version is 'Beware of the man with only one gun. He probably knows how to use it.'

Conversely, many of us own several and probably have a less than expert level of proficiency with at least a few of them.

What happens when you shoot someone? NOTHING, keep shooting.

What happens when you get shot? NOTHING, keep shooting.


Those are words of advice given in the tactical treatment of gunshot wounds class regarding what to expect as results from getting shot. Shooting someone doesn't put them out of the fight, nor should it take you out of the fight.

The one my grandfather always referred to when teaching me anything
"Their drills are bloodless battles, and their battles bloody drills."

That was my guess but wanted to make sure. Thanks

Can you explain that one?

It is part of a quote from Clint Smith. As stated above, he probably knows how to use it, but the joke that usually follows is "and has a mean wife.".

Lock and Load!

You want to fight me? I will just shoot you. Still want to fight me?
I am old, lazy and just want another beer, way easier just to shoot you

It makes perfect sense to me. You cannot be so rigid in one direction that you cannot adapt to conditions, but you cannot be directionless either. Is your interpretation similar?

I would interpret it the same way...you put it so much more eloquently. His other saying when he was talking to us was "cop a squat".
