    Hello,
    I have come here because I got fed up with the crap over at survivalistboards. Ran poorly with horrible moderation. New to here, but in no way new to prepping. Looking forward to making some new friends and contacts here.

    Welcome from the great State of Jefferson.

    There's a wealth of knowledge here and a pretty laid back group of people who are helpful and know their stuff.
    Find a branch and look around.

    @RVHBPG It's a good crowd here! You'll like it. Keep your mind open, listen politely, keep your tongue civil and defend your arguments vigorously with facts... This group tends to burn through commies, leftists, and progressives' tripe faster than a snowball in Hades so...nothing personal as the ultra-right types don't last very long either.

    I will risk the wrath and state most here are America First and might vote Republican (at least this last time) but most definitely are independent thinkers, besides, like my old grandmother use to tell me, "...the only thing worse than a Republican in a suit, is a Democrat in a suit..." She never forgave FDR for taking her gold. LOL! Welcome!

    Thanks folks for the warm welcome. I hope to be on both ends while I am here, learning a little and teaching a little...

    Howdy bud. I wasn't going to say anything in case it was just me, but I've come over here for the same reason. Got banned for posting a youtube video with a bad word in it and then publicly saying that was the reason I had to end the thread, lol. Used to be a great forum. I left for a while when life got busy, then went back and it had gone all weird. Must have changed ownership or something, I dunno. Feels like reddit over there now. :(

    Oh well. Hopefully we'll find a new community here.

    Hey Ura-Ki,
    I have some good friends in a little city South of Gunnison on 149, Lake City. Very beautiful place. Surrounded by no less than five 12,000ft peaks. Done some Elk hunting and Skiing with those guys and gals. Thanks for the Welcome...

    Hey Polecat,
    Yeah, kind of the same thing for me. when I started there many moons ago it was the best prepper sites around. It was sold to a Mega company I think I heard. You are right, left for a bit due to the ever-changing demands of life. When I went back, I got into trouble for everything. Moderators went Nutz or something. Looking forward to this site. I was raised in the prepper lifestyle. My Pop was born a farmer in Ohio in hard times and when he left to join the Navy. It only reinforced his desire to do all the same things his Mom & Pop had taught him all his life. Kinda rubbed off on me. Thanks for the welcome...

    Welcome from coastal North Carolina. I moved over here following a ban on survival fiction on another board. There's a branch for everybody here. Sometimes mine is a little charred, sometimes it's on fire, but it's always fun.

    I've enjoyed reading your posts already. Welcome to the tree.

    Welcome aboard. The founders here started this board when we all got fed up with one we were on. Sounds like the same thing. The mods and the owner of the site ran it like thier own little fifedom and all the serfs had better toe the line or else. This year will mark our 20th anniversary.

    I know Brother,
    When I went back this time. Two of the Moderators who were fairly close friends had turned into a couple of Primadonna's. That breaks my heart. These were good people I am talking about. Fair and Kind in their Moderations, tough when they had to be. Man, how it has changed. I do like what I have seen here so far. It reminds me of the other board back in the day. You guys keep up the good work and I hope to contribute as much as I can to the site.

    Welcome from the soggy Wilamette Valley om Oregon just south of Tentlandia! glad you found us! SM is like the layers of an onion, the outer part is like the part of an onion you peel off and throw away. It's basically a bunch of old men arguing politics and such. Be patient and keep peeling the layers away to find a wealth of knowledge.
