JungleWork started a dynamic thread recently. It was about those who do the talk and those who do the walk...
In this thread "you fight like you train" was repeated and appreciated by many. Many of those then showed animosity for people who talk about what they would do without ever having been in combat situations.
Folks, that's also training. The benefits of physical training are clear: improved and automated handling. Discussing what to do and thinking about it before the situation occurs is nothing but mental training. If you have made up your mind before, you have more option to quickly choose from when the situation occurs. Or better: You have a plan then. Because then you are liekely to fight as you planned.
I deeply respect many of those who I now am probably disagreeing with. Especially JungleWork is a member of this forum whose posts I read with high esteem. But: I rather get patterns to choose from by thinking about a situation than by sheer experience. Otherwise I would have to stop thinking about what I would do before I am in danger. If you take this to the extreme one would have to walk to the gunshop the very moment one needs a gun...
This should become a thread and not a monologue:
1. Why do you guys contemplate your scenarios in advance?
2. Do you actually think it makes sense or is it just the same as "which of the cars I can't afford anyway would I buy if I won the lottery..."
