That post is so true and is a really valid point..... We can't assume just becuase we read it somewhere or even saw someone do it doesn't mean its going to go well and perform as it should for us.....
I play around with ham radio and I'm amazed at the number of times things just don't go right and the plan needs a little "tweeking" Glad it was only training and not life or death....--- Hamster |

Better to do it, use it practice it in a place and at a time where there is no urgency so when there is your actions can be coordinated and precise.

yep, always test yourself. Even new items you buy and may have used the type and brand before may be defective from the store. When SHTF is not the time to find out it was defective. Also skills needed tested NOW so you know them and don't have to think about it when you really need that skill.
