Funny, because I can hold my own physically, but it's mind games that are my strong suit. Seen it time and time again, the person that has mastered games of the mind can overthrow the leadership of the physically stronger one.Arctic, no matter the disaster, we would find a way to survive the initial threat and those that follow. We were born to adapt.Like I said, animal love me. And hunting them, well, it is an easy thing to do. Easier than some will make it seem at least. Especially since I've found it extremely easy to lay 'traps' of sorts for the animals. I don't think we would need to make new weapons, considering that a knife can last you a long time if you know how to maintain it. But if it comes down to it, I can fashion weapons made for hunting or weapons made for 'self preservation'. By that of course I mean fighting off other people, and whatever the disaster itself creates. Also have learned quite a bit in carpentry and such.I wouldn't want to be a leader (lot of pressure and responsibility) but would be if it came down to it. People tell me I'm a natural leader, but I just don't see it.
I've been on a losing team with strangers only to pull a win on a team that has been working together for years. Not the best example I know lol, but I haven't been in any disasters other than family matters. And I'd rather not post those here lol.
I should have said 'I haven't been in charge during any disasters', because I've been in quite a few. But when it comes to being in charge, well, no one is in charge with my family. We know how to take care of ourselves and each other, and are stubborn enough not to take orders from others. There are only 3 things I say I inherited from my dad; his hair, his stubbornness, and his anger. I've only tamed one of those so far, and it's the anger.
Sounds like a good reason to move lol.I'd say the hunter/warrior is in all of us, just another one of those things that have been dulled by their own hand. Same with instincts, we all have them, but again most people's instincts are dulled.Artistic side, lol, no one passed that on to me. It's always been a part of me, what with my imagination (that has a mind of it's own it seems lol), but no one in my family can create anything that isn't for work. Still, my parents were good and fed my imagination/creativity as much as they could, and my sisters have done the same for their children (all but one I mean).
I'm not saying yours are dulled, I'm saying everyone has the hunter/warrior inside them, but it isn't as prominent (is that even the right word?) because they have dulled it. Like a blade that isn't maintained.Hunting with a bow is cool, not my kind of thing though. Although I do enjoy archery. Again, not something I learned, just picked up a bow and had fun with it. Like I said, I'm a traps man myself. Though nothing I learned, just things I come up with myself. Pretty much a knife is all I want, but a rifle I do practice with (not on animals, other things) because it is a skill that is good to have.Lol Art School isn't for me, but still cool you went. I've read the thread so I know what you're talking about, I was just talking about my own background.Modify Don't get me wrong here, I'm sure I'm no where near as good with a bow as you are. I reread it and felt I undermined your skills a bit, so thought I'd clear it up. Everyone has a field they are more proficient at, and mine in this case would be mind games. And yes, I do count traps as mind games.
but I'm really good at hand-to-hand combat, I'm good with firearms, knives, Know stealth, tracking and camouflage. I'm fiercely loyal and will defend those I love at any cost
I know that feeling lol, maybe there's an inner wolf next to my inner child . I know the thrill of not setting traps, rather hunting the prey down yourself. But the thrill you get there, I get with coming up with the trap and creating it, then again when it works lol.Quotebut I'm really good at hand-to-hand combat, I'm good with firearms, knives, Know stealth, tracking and camouflage. I'm fiercely loyal and will defend those I love at any costCompletely with you on that, use to sneak around a lot as a kid. Not in some perverted way, before anyone's minds jump there, rather for fun. And while yours are a surgeon scalpel, mine would be the same sharpness, but in a retractable blade sort of way. You seem more open with your skills, but I prefer to keep things hidden until they're necessary. Don't get me wrong, I don't let them dull, I simply keep them sharp in private. And when my anger takes over, man, that can be trouble. I'm one of those people that, when angry, pretty much internally blacks out and instinct takes complete control. Hence why I've had to tame it.

You cant always beat them with your fists; you have to be able to beat them with your mind. Not that it isnt important to physically be able to handle yourself and weapons in a survival situation. Survival is about 90% mental-and you truly dont know how you'll respond until you're actually in a disaster situation-some people will emerge as leaders and others will fall apart-there was a 20/20 about that-why some people can handle themselves and some cant
