The discipline that comes from training for 20 years will certainly be useful in any and all endeavors. Why not work on all 3?

What specific SHTF scenario results in you getting taken out by a drone?

I can think of one or two myself, but none of them are more survivable if I can make drones than if I’m physically fit.

True. That said, if you can't maintain a minimum of physical fitness, you're going to have a bad time in any crisis situation.

Yes. The Russians currently have a shortage of trap style shotguns, and you can see them being used in some combat footage. Honestly though, it still doesn't even come close to neutralizing the threat. The drones are piloted by humans, so they do smart things like break line of site until the very last second.

The main reason you don't see more is the (((FAA))) has come down hard on private drone usage in the last few years. Any drone over 1 pound (so anything useful for anything besides observation) and all FPV drones now require a license and registration like a car, and there are now official no-fly zones that any off-the-shelf drone's firmware will not let you fly your drone in (it'll either automatically turn around or the drone will shut itself off) and temporary no-fly zones can be created pretty much any time and anywhere. It's also illegal to shoot at a drone, even if it's one you personally own.

If you know what you're doing you can build your own drone with custom firmware and just not tell anyone about it, but information on how to do it can be hard to find and the parts are (likely) highly monitored.
