We all need to be teaching our neighbors to be self sufficient, especially in the food & water departments. The more people in your AO that can take care of themselves, the less will be trying to lay seige to your property, steal your crops, & break down your doors.

On equipment: You get what you inspect, not what you expect.
On training: Our drills are bloodless battles so that our battles are bloody drills.
On tactics: Cheating just means you're serious about winning.
