Carry more in your pack or break laws for survival?

You have a lot more hair than I envisioned.

So you are saying, in all seriousness. You would loose you life to support not starting a fire?

As you lay in the woods, alone, freezing to death, knowing your family may never even have the closure of finding your corpse.

As you draw your last breath you will take solace in knowing you at least upheld the law?

This would be my questions as well.

I feel like reasonable people should be able to use their best judgement on when some laws should be obeyed. If it is truly a survival situation and nobody else would be harmed by doing so, it would be foolish not to break a rule.

How much does your "fire stuff" weigh that you are putting this much thought into shuffling gear versus just leaving that stuff in your pack?

This was my thought. My fire starting stuff weighs all of a couple ounces and is buried in the bottom of my pack most of the time. I don't think I'd be fishing it out to leave home because there was a fire ban. And if push came to shove that I was somehow about to die from hypothermia and the only resolution was building a fire in a fire ban than I'm building a fire.

I break laws for far more trivial things than survival. Is this a serious question?

 

[streetdoctor]

I'd start a fire and roast a bald eagle if it meant keeping my family alive in a survival situation.

This made me laugh out loud

First off, you all know the OP is full of carp, right? This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read. lol.

Life or death and you wouldn’t stay a fire to save tour life cause it’s illegal???? LMAO.

Fun fact, shooting a human is also illegal…but if your life is in imminent danger, you can shoot them. Well, I guess you’d prefer to let your kids grow up without a father and widow your wife, but you do you.

Federal law > State law.

State law > local law.

My life > any law you can think of.

In a survival situation the only laws for me are the laws of physics.

Ahhh...... but it's always 'a' choice.


I can't help but think that OP has never been close to an actually dangerous situation.
