Oh, wait...

I guess you were never a Boy Scout, huh Zeke? There's nothing wrong with being prepared.
It has been known to rain now and then. In fact, you could get a flat tire in the rain on your way to try to find food and water. Then someone might try to take what little you have left, threatening you with a switchblade, and there you'd be soaking wet, without a jack or an umbrella, all hungry and wishing you had a gun. All because you couldn't see the logic in being prepared.
