Firstly, I should say that you are indeed a prepared man. But you already know that... And really, it's inspiring. If I do have the choice to be stuch with anyone during an apocalypse or something, it would be you. I can guess the feeling won't be mutual as you'd like a readily prepared individual as well. So, yeah, it's inspiring. You can tell a lot about a man just by the sight of his center console. Yeah, nobody said that...
Secondly, I'd like to ask if you have driven a left-hand drive before, and how it feels in comparism with what you're used to.
I actually just learned that righ-hand drive is the norm there from an Australian series, Glitch.
Have a great weekend, sir.
PS: I would suggest a taser for knucklehead drivers
There are groups, survivalists, who band together and work on preparing for certain things. Each member needs to bring skills: First-aid, electrical, mechanical, food cultivation, hunting, trapping, shooting, defensive and offensive capabilities, navigation and communications...stuff like that. I was asked to get involved with one locally but without knowing the people well it wasn't something I felt inclined to do. I don't mind teaching people what I know, as I often learn new things in the process and I like helping people, but getting lumbered with someone who doesn't know anything in a crisis situation isn't something I'd choose.
I've driven left hand drive vehicles, yes. It's exactly the same although one drives on the opposite side of the road and that can take some getting used to, especially on unfamiliar roads. Once the brain works it out it becomes second nature. Yes, right hand drive is normal here, in the UK, New Zealand, South Africa and other places, parts of Asia and all. Europe and the USA have left hand drive and probably South America also, although I'm not sure about the latter.
So, your suggestion of a taser. It's a good plan but it's illegal to own one here as a general citizen, I'd get arrested...besides, if I get a bazooka I'll not need a taser; the bazooka is a multi-purpose weapon. Lol.
Okay, I am good with electricals. I could be useful in such a group. Besides, I am willing to learn — so I can be more useful. I don't think I would want to be lumbered up someone who doesn't know anything and isn't willing to learn.
I have been driving only left-hand drive since I learned about eight years ago. I didn't even think that there was such a large percentage of countries that use right-hand drive. I thought left-hand drive was the standard. Good to know now...
I guess as long as one is proficient with driving, then one could adapt quickly to the unfamiliar drive. I would just feel weird for a while at first.
Hmm...who needs taser when bazooka does wonders? 😅
I wouldn't want to be the knuclehead in your way.
Good morning and Happy Sunday, sir!
Learning is good, and with the concept of preparation (being a prepared person) there is so many ways a person can learn and gain skills. It's not even costly to do, one just needs to have the motivation and responsibility to do so.
I'm going to take my bazooka out for some in-field testing, you know...shooting it at things. I'll do a post, or you might see me on the world news. Either way, it'll be a blast.
