      I think you want to be overweight so you can survive the famine times. I’m in great shape right now and ripped, but if we face food shortages I’m either going to die quickly or have to start eating the fat people.

        I have a terrible BMI. I’ve always had a terrible bmi when I was 5-10% body fat. Because of how much muscle I have. So at the moment. I’m probably in good shape to survive the culling. I also live in the fruit bowl of America. With family managing massive farms. So food isn’t far off for us to get. But I’m still at 30% bmi with a 270lbs frame. I can go for some time for sure without food. But I’m pushing for a 315lbs bench this week. 3 plate club for the first time in a long time. 6’2 height. I’m ready.

        Also I am a relative of “Sons of the revolution”. My blood has fought in every war in this nations history since the French Indian War.

      Never underestimate the value of good cardio health.

      Being able to trudge for long periods of time in difficult terrain is a very useful skill.

      Bonus points for knowing how to navigate without digital technology, where we’re going we don’t want to geo-pin ourselves.
