>>518809Those are different comparisons. It's easy to sharpen a knife and carry a sharpening stone, even with little practice anyone can sharpen a knife. An expensive bow isn't going to last when you die and your kids have it. Keep in mind after society you're not using a bow every once in a week. You will use it every day for a few hours to hunt for food. You need the skills for making your own tools, food, medicine, etc. Those skills are better than buying lots of bullshit you don't need.
