Bourne/Bond Corollary:
Go to Zero's place. RTWT. Watch him crush all the Walter Mitty survivalist fap fantasies in a 20-ton shop press of Reality.
And then, watch the whole skit, for entertainment.

At the risk of going on a tangent here, that is a good article, but he points out the ability to think critically and logically (I paraphrase) is most important. I agree. But I lived through 2020 and I am thoroughly convinced that that skill is scarcer than a hen's teeth. Somewhere between "the entire planet concocted a fake plague and threw thier economy in the shredder to meddle in American politics" and "the entire US medical field is part of a government conspiracy to perpetuate the idea of a plague" I began to believe that most people couldn't think logically if you put a gun to their head and forced them to do it.
The behavior of people in 2020 did not impress me. A lot of people who should have known better proved that they were both clueless and worse than useless. Smart enough to buy a gun and tote it around, not smart enough to plan for not a having a job tomorrow. Life decked me with that one shortly after I got out of college, and I used the opportunity to buy a clue about emergency preparedness.
Not as "sexy" as a gun, but more useful.

Aesop, the point is well taken (the post at Commander Zero was on point as well). Yes, a weapon usually beats someone without a weapon, but ideally one avoids using the weapon at all. And having a weapon but nothing else - food, clothes, "supplies" of various kinds of sorts - likely makes for a very short term survival plan. One can maybe beat one or two the draw, but not everyone.
