Preppers Forum

Im thinking we should make like a "Bug Out" Section. A forum for Prepper Talk and B.O.B. Setups and different topics. Maybe discuss different ways to live off the land and turning your home into a fortress or things like that.
Maybe some Urban Survival talk.

2012 type of stuff

I envy you folks who live out there where you can do this. I'm stuck in a real S**t hole. If the poo poo hits the oscillating rotator around here, I'll be fight my way out!

I actually have Surviving Urban Disasters which I've thought about tossing some forums upon. Just haven't had the time to really work on it much.

Yeah it would be nice to link the 2 sites with tabs or something. But a Prepper Forum would be nice to add to the site.

Good idea, prepper forum would give us a good place to discuss survival in general.

I would prefer NOT to have a Prepper forum. Prepper forums are dogmatic, aggressive, and are as much fighting as anything else. This is a calm and relaxed forum. We respect each other. I guarantee that will change as soon as we start attracting Preppers. I don't dislike preppers, mind you, but they are generally not of the positive vibe that exists here.

Good luck on your forum. A lot of people I know are really into this stuff, but those who live near me don't have a farm or wilderness area to escape to. They do the best they can with what they have.

You have a point. Those types of forums tend to attract "Know-It-All's"
But If we keep the forums separate we should be ok and a little help from forum moderators I think everything will be ok.

If the boss does decide to do this the forum rules and atmosphere will stay the same.
This is a great family atmosphere and I for one will do my best to keep it this way.
We have only had a couple of minor problems here, that is to be expected, and the occasional hit-and-run spammer and that is because of a really good vision of Jason and a super group of core members.
Management does have ways to deal with problem children.
