Proof The Bible Is True

Preppers are faced with an important question in a survival scenario: Would they rather have a handful of high-quality tools, or a wide array of low-cost – and possibly substandard – gear? The answer should be clear. Whenever possible, quality must never be sacrificed.

 

“I hate to say this, but if you look through your survival/prep gear and supplies and find that a lot of it is ‘Wal-Mart’ brand, you aren’t doing yourself many favors,” wrote James L for preparedness and survival website Plan and Prepared. “In a long-term survival situation, quality will always trump quantity,” he said.

 

But he adds that, in certain situations, people with difficult financial situations might only be able to afford cheaper standard- or low-quality gear. “And in that case, that is better than nothing,” he argued. (Related: Prepping on a budget: How to use your food supply to get through unexpected financial emergencies.)
