TRex2 commented on the post, We're Back! 1 week, 4 days ago
Unfortunately, the WordPress software used in this forum does not seem up to the task of running a forum (it was meant for blogging, not forums), and the forum appears to be somewhat abandoned by its regular users.
We tried. For about a year we posted information and reported spam, but it appeared the Administrator (owner) had lost interest in…[Read more]

It appears this forum has been abandoned.
Most of the people who used to post here are now posting over at

TRex2 replied to the topic North Korea-At it Again in the forum World News 7 months, 1 week ago
As I have written about, before (on EmergencyHomePrep), Dr Pry is outside of his area of expertise, when talking about Nuclear Weapons. And now, it looks like he has become a political lobbyist, pushing for EMP awareness. On the whole, his cause is a good one, but on some critical details, he is wrong.
I addition, he criticizes our intelligence…[Read more]

But I do try and pop in every few days and see what activity has happened. Hmmm, just checked and it’s been 10 days since the last spam blast…maybe the spammers have realized the site is pretty much a zombie? That’s really sad.
Same here. If I ever hear that the problems have been fixed, I will probably start posting more here, again.

I will also, probably, join your forum. An advantage of multiple forums might be that we might cover more subjects, and there would be redundancy if one forum should come under attack, but I am concerned that it will also dilute our knowledge base, unless there is a lot of duplicate information (same info found on multiple forums).
How do you…[Read more]

The scumbag isn’t just posting spam to be posting spam. His major purpose is to destroy, or at least reduce the value of the forum. Guys like him are extremely hateful of preppers for reasons that defy logic.

TRex2 replied to the topic Burial/Cache ideas in the forum General Family Preparedness 1 year, 1 month ago
For freeze thaw protection, you need to go deeper than the deepest freeze the area has had on record. The required depth may be as much as 4 feet in some areas. One way to reduce the needed depth is to place a sheet of Styrofoam (generally sandwiched between two sheets of plywood over the top of the cache. Then, instead of measuring straight down…[Read more]

Before Trump got into the game, I had a Putin 2016 bumper sticker. Once Trump got in, the same people started telling the same lies about Trump as they told about Putin, so I figured Trump was mu guy.
Off topic and makes absolutely no sense, but if you want to explain yourself, you could open a thread here:

TRex2 replied to the topic Privacy concerns in the forum Emergency Communications 1 year, 2 months ago
And what are your thoughts regarding the legality of using such a system on HAM radio networks?
Illegal.
Very Illegal.
Just don’t do it.There are places you can legally use encryption.
Ham bands are not one of those places. -
TRex2 replied to the topic Which duct tape is best? in the forum A.N.T.S. 1 year, 2 months ago
What I found especially enlightening is that no one tape took 1st place in all of the categories. Seems like each tape has its strong and weak points.
I get the 3M for general work, and Gorilla for the heavy stuff, but was surprised at the failure in the shear test.

Just thought I would give this thread another update.
Illini Warrior was right:no recession signs around here – 1,000s and 1,000s of job openings – more ads for truck drivers than ever …
The lack of truck driver adds I see where I am looking is because a couple of the employers struck a deal with local truck driving schools to recruit direc…[Read more]

OK, cool.
There are quite a few brands. Tecsun and Degen are fairly popular among preppers, and I am thinking of buying one, so I thought if you had heard how one of them sounded maybe you could give me an opinion about the sound quality.(Non-radio people often have more realistic assessments of radio sound quality. Us radio guys get so used…[Read more]

TRex2 replied to the topic FARADAY CAGES in the forum Terrorism & other Man made disasters 1 year, 2 months ago
Those are good things to have.
Mind if I as about the Ham Radio Reciever?
Is it a Tecsun or Degen by chance?
What is your opinion of the sound quality? -

There are literally thousands of preppers in the Idaho and surrounding area.
