I guess over time everything dies. It is somewhat like going back to the home you grew-up in, and there is only a shell remaining.
SAD that this forum........DIED.

There is a reason for this Sourdough.
Starting just before COVID our older and more experienced members began dying off at alarming rate. They were the segment of the forum that kept conversations going and added the bulk of the content.
There were other factors too. Our society has changed since the busy days of the forum.
It may not be happening in Alaska yet, but for the past months the three letter agencies have been knocking on doors and making their presence known to citizens for their Facebook, Instagram, Tic Tock, and forum posts. Also for their on-line purchases. A quick search on You-tube will find you dozens of these encounters.
No one wants to draw attention to themselves, their equipment, their knowledge, or their plans.
What we feared and warned of has come to pass.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
Well, you gotta admit it’s kinda hard to have a totalitarian regime with people running around with survival skills…

I would love to post more. But with a wife and three kids it gets hard to find time to go do outdoorsy stuff but I still try to manage. But then I also only have access on my phone now and then it can take forever to try and upload pictures. And a lot of times when I do post, somehow I get frozen out of the forum so I can’t get I with neither Tapatalk, nor the browser. Don’t know what’s going on there… last couple of ventures I’ve really wanted to post. Especially about finding an old Indian Mound deep in the woods built around 1250AD. A little over 30 feet tall and 60 feet wide. No trail to it and surrounded by flood plain. Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.

I moved into town, then moved again.still in town..lost track of some of the forms that I'm a member of.i relocated this one by the way of doing a prepper forums search .
Preparation through education is less costly than learning through tragedy.
For whatever reason, we’ve been unable to contact the forum owner for several years. I don’t know what others are experiencing, but I cannot access the forum using my desktop computer. The only way I can get on in any meaningful way is through my iPad, and I do not enjoy using it to type.
DuckDuckGo pulls it up like usual. Chrome craps out. Firefox brings it up normal.
But, It is really good to hear from you.

I'm still here! Been busy lately with work, moving to a new place in the same town, and dealing with a family member having a serious health crisis.

As far as my concern, I'm not coming here so often because the lay out of the site has changed en I don't know how I can change it back to the old pages. Everything is most white accept for the pictures.
OK......It does not (to me) look probable is forum is going to return to vibrant activity. There is an active forum that many have migrated too. It has an active Prepping (and or) Survival section. I invite anyone interest to check it out.
Other than being a member, I have no other interest in: Homesteading and Country Living Forum.

Thanks for the invite SD. One can always hope for the revival but like you, at this point I am doubtful.
