    google ferfal, he has some interesting accounts. Also there is a serbian (if memory serves) that also talks about some first hand accounts. I'll try to scare up the serbs name.

    Pretty sure that no one on open public forum, regardless of how 'serious' they are will be putting up posts on how to harden your site, create boobytraps and mankillers, or discuss things like homemade ordinance. It is one thing to know how to do all of that, and to talk about it amongst long-time friends and survival buddies, but to put it up on a public site is inviting a $#itstorm of epic proportions with dire legal ramifications. Imagine if one of the sites the Aurora shooter visited was a survival site such as this filled with plans on how to boobytrap and rig your home to kill would-be intruders? Can you imagine the kinds of legal problems that would cause for its members and owner?

    Not to mention that the US Government monitors this site religiously! They probably now have a whole file on you. Just sayin'. I was going to get into "hard core survival-ism" but all of my preps got lost in a canoe accident! Word of advice, never put everything you own in a canoe and try to shoot Horseshoe Falls in Toronto...bad idea!

    Sadly, the same thing happened to my entire armory during a fishing boat accident on Lake Superior, as my friends here from the other site can attest. One has to wonder why I would bring all my guns and ammo to go pike fishing, but I can only say it seemed like a good thing to do at the time.

    I think that I had the wrong kind of canoe, I had the "round bottom" type. I now believe that if I had one of those with the 2" centerboard Me and my 3000 pounds of gear would have made it. Unfortunately I also drowned so I can't re-try it!

    I didn't respond because I don't prep. I never have. I spend all of my time and money finding lost puppies for children.
    My goal in life is to be the kind of person my dog thinks I'am.

    Please do not do that. If you start contacting members in the manner that you describe it will be treated as SPAM. If the things you want to discuss are illegal, involve politics, or religion - you are right - they will not be appreciated on this forum. If that is all you came to discuss, you may be in the wrong place, which is sad - you may be able to learn a lot here.

    If you want to get to know people, join in the conversations. You will quickly find out who is serious, and so will we.

    Personally I think this whole prepping thing is far to serious. It can be a real downer. I much prefer people with a sense of humor who can maintain a bit of perspective. Something might hit the fan. Then again it might not. I'd like to enjoy life either way.

    I am looking for a few that are already set up, as I have no time to talk about knives, water filters or guns. I need to bounce off some tactical survival ideas.

    Thanks
    Dear Mr Baggins,

    Sorry I'm late to the show. Serious Survivalists. Is vague and is defined by every individual that reads the post based on their interpretation. I wish I could offer something but I am not serious and some what fictional.

    So then Wizards and the world of men. We shall keep silent about what we are not to talk about. We shall all gladly march to Armageddon without a twitch.

    What is left to say when we know we can’t afford to trust anyone?
    What is left to fight for when we have already given up?
    Can someone tell me again why I fought for this country?

    It seems to me that the Government has never been the problem, but those who stood by until there was nothing left to trust in.

    I consider myself a serious survivalist.... I try very hard every day not to die....

    ...now where'd I put that violin? Trust is earned dude, I don't trust anybody that I don't know anything about. Deal with it!

    Cool Hmmmm...

    I think I just figured out part of the problem, some come on here thinking that it's all going to be "on their terms!" They don't have to tell us anything about their selves, They can thumb their noses at the forum rules, and they can diss the membership on here when we just don't fall all over ourselves to respond to their demands! News flash! It don't work that way! I wouldn't treat anybody else that way, so I don't expect to be treated like that by anybody else. Homey don't play that!

    That should be "TOO" seriously.
