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.
Two is one, and one is none is an excellent method of making sure that you have all of your bases covered in the event your first option fails. That’s especially important regarding your survival gear and anything you need to survive a bad situation.
However, the need for redundancy doesn’t stop with the items you have in your survival kit. Redundancy applies to all aspects of your ability to survive—knowledge, skills, and resources. Likewise, sometimes, it doesn’t apply, meaning having two of something may not be in your best interest.
