Firearms and Hand Weapons Are BOTH Part of A Balanced Hippie Survivalist Diet

Modern survivalists worship at the altar of the firearm, and that doesn't rub me in all the right places. In fact, it makes my nuts itch. Guns -- like tattoos and crack cocaine -- are addictive. They make voluminous amounts of noise, and need to be reloaded. They jam. They waste -- and run out of -- ammunition. They blind you at night. They weigh you down, and impede your movements. So, while I agree that firearms are indispensable, I am also an advocate of hand weapons. By which I mean knives, clubs, bows & arrows, crossbows, tomahawks, spears and all those other cool primitive/medieval tools of death, which -- LIKE FIREARMS -- can be used in the gleeful pursuit of offense, defense and meat procurement. In MY Tribe, each fighter will carry a firearm, a hand weapon, and a knife (and btw, big knives are not usually necessary - high carbon steel Mora's work just fine).
