I saw this quote in a recent www.survivalblog.com post.
"A wild boar stood under a tree, and rubbed his tusks against the trunk. A fox passing by asked him why he thus sharpened his teeth when there was no danger threatening from either huntsman or hound. He replied, 'I do it advisedly; for it would never do to have to sharpen my weapons just at the time I ought to be using them.' To be well prepared for war is the best guarantee of peace." - The Fables of Aesop
This is a good reminder that having all the weapons in the world won’t matter if you don’t practice with them. This means using them, understanding how they work, and knowing how to fix them not if, but when they break. Having the right weapons matters as well…but, that’s another thought for another day!
