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.

If anyone knows how to get in touch
with Cast Iron, the rest of the story
is just as good.

He abandoned this forum after it went
to the new software, but maybe someone
knows if he is on another forum.

As any prepper worth their salt will affirm,
Real World always has to come first.

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.

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:
Things outside the normal prepping topics

I agree with “straightshooter”

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.

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.

A noob just like u and live in north central Arkansas. I watch alyx t of iTunes

I am not far from you, but have no clue who alyx of iTunes is.

whether a nuke situation or solar flare – it won’t be a single initial burst – it will be a series of bursts – some of the latter being even more powerful than the initial ….

I agree with this, but not for the reasons most people think. We aren’t the targets (of course, in a CME, there are no targets), so much, as collateral damage in a clash of…[Read more]

I can let them know.

Sadly, it appears that without
a hard line moderation on who
can join, this forum is now
becoming a spammer magnet.

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]

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.

They may just not be on here.
Otherwise, I don’t know why no one has answered you.

Sorry it took so long to get back on here. Been busy with physical world for a while.

One of the things we learned last year about EMP’s is that not everything will be killed, so it is possible the plant could continue to operate safely for a while.

On the other hand (OTOH) things might not go well, and a few weeks (I have heard everything…[Read more]

The moderators are struggling with the spam issue.
Not sure how we report it.

ONLY economic downer talkers are the Trump Objectionists – more fake news – fake polls – fake racial claims >>> trying to sway the fall elections ….

That is just the MSM trying to help keep people working, creative writing of fake news Lol!

True, there is no recession now, nor should there be for a few months. Harbor Freight is planning ahead.…[Read more]
