Whatever you can do with your hands, can be done quicker, safer, and more efficiently with weapons. Fishing? Use dynamite. Axing down a tree? Use a double-ended chainsaw. Picking flowers? Use a high-calibre machine gun.

If you’ve seen Deliverance, or read Lord of the Flies, you’ll know that the world is chock-a-block with dangerous people who mean to do you harm.

Another good reason then to pack guns, make spears, and set booby traps. Remember that nothing, absolutely nothing, can go wrong in the wild if you’re armed to the teeth and looking like an am-dram Rambo.
