I'm not very sure that many of you are truly thinking this through. You've probably spent days, weeks, maybe months preparing for various scenario's. Packing, buying , digging, hiding, constructing, loading and practicing....and now SOME of you, are going to discard it. Rule #1 of survival.......low profile. Whether you're tracking through the woods, or sitting tight n dry in your home, what we've all been preparing for is the "just-in-case" we can't rely on society scenario. Your dog, whether a well trained hunting machine, or the ultimate home protection beast....is going to draw attention like fly's to crap. Dog's ALWAYS make noise. It's in their nature to bark. If you think you're dog would at least make a decent meal if necessary, what will every other jerk in the woods think of that noise? That "other" guy and his hungry family were probably about to walk right by your home, or your camp without even noticing it....but now your four legged best friend is advertising...."MEAT HERE...COME AND GET IT"! And guess what, that guy has his very own AK that he bought off NW forums. None of us are Luis or Clark...we are not stamping across the country looking for new lands. We are not armed with overwhelming firepower, no matter how expensive your AR was. We do not have guides. There is no romance, or adventure in Survival. One guy, up on a ridge with his 4X scope and trusty 10/22 who see's you first because your dog is yapping away at a squirrel....is gonna pop your *** before you know what happened. Probably not because he wants to eat your dog, but because he see's you......he see's your rifle....and he's scared. That's just one scenario.
None of us are Luis or Clark.............Spell check.
"we are not stamping" ............ Gave up stamping to collect guns.
We are not armed with overwhelming firepower,............ Oh yes we are
You just made my point for me. If your dog, with sensory perception thousands of times better than your own.....can be surprised by something as common as another dog, who's managing to be a ninja simply by NOT barking....than what's that say for his ability to behave as a proper resource for you? Also, take into account that you CANNOT trust that his behavior in a normal, routine life is going to be the same in a shtf scenario where everything will be different. The rules, the dangers, the emotions, the needs, the sensory inputs. It'll all be different. If it's what we're preparing for, than you're trusting at least one small part, (and maybe not so small) to an animal that would be willing, I'm sure, to die for you.......but has no logical judgment to decide when it's that time. I suppose that makes him a perfect distraction, and possible body shield of sorts. Unfortunately, distractions work two ways, and you've got to worry about what your dog is doing, and the safety of that animal. As for me...I can't do it.
P.S....Two guy's surprising each other in the woods wasn't the subject. But if it had been, that is one scenario where a dog might come in handy, I'll admit it. But I'd still choose to be the guy aware of the dog, than the guy responsible for the dog.
I've spent a lot of time in the woods......never yet been surprised by a man and a dog. You ALWAYS know they're coming. Well trained dogs respond to vocal commands. Wait........does your dog know combat hand signals??????
