Two is One, One is None (Situational Redundancy)

Post by Watchman »

If you’ve read any survival magazine, listened to any preparedness podcast, or watched any readiness-focused YouTube channel, you’re sure to have heard the two is one, and one is none mantra repeated time and time again.

And, while on the surface, it’s a solid mindset to have when considering your preparedness, it’s more in-depth than many people are aware of. That’s because there are a few different ways to think of two is one, and one is none when it comes to emergency preparedness and survival.
