but that's just the great big fucking frustration speaking....

Let me ask you something, or, as it would sound in real life if I was talking to you, "lemmeasyoosum-in", Hunters have been hunting for some time, our particular beloved hunters have been hunting for many years...would they still be cleaning their wounds with whiskey and stitching up their booboos with dental floss and carpet needles? I mean, you can get all the real medical shit pretty cheap on the internets. You can get all kinds of emergency first aid supplies. And hell, shit tons of survivalist stuff--I bet MREs would come in handy from time to time--just the kind of shit *I'd* want if I was a hunter.

In my head (and notes) at least one of those duffel bags they shlep around with has to be a warbag, packed with stuff they really need, a hell of a lot more important shit than tube socks and boxers. Though they should always have extra tube socks because dry feet are *very* important. I just can't imagine John not having a fully tricked out kit. I can see him teaching them everything he can about down and dirty stuff for emergencies, but not having clean, efficient equipment? That stuff is as important as their guns and knives.

This is the kind of stuff I think is interesting. And here you can see how overthinky I get about stuff. *G* I mean, sure, you can't make a story out of it but isn't it cool to know?

That... is an excellent point. And yes it is cool to know. Plus, while you probably couldn't make a whole fic just about this, you could probably put it as a conversation in another fic. It would be interesting I think.

You're right! Dropping it casually into a fic lets the reader know they have this stuff, without making it the central theme of the story--though I bet there's a cool way to do that too. I like my boys to be smart and efficient and I like them to show it off a bit. :)

Oooo, I'm going to add this to the notes for the story that will probably never be written. *sigh*
