I get where you're coming from MNM and I don't disagree.
It's just a post for people to accept when someone else has more expertise, but also to be careful about what they say if they have 'knowledge' on a subject they have no practical experience with.
I don't talk much about solar, medical, weapons, vehicles, and many other things. Not because I don't care about them, but because my knowledge base is pretty limited. Take comms for example. I didn't post anything about comms until after I had some radios and learned a load of stuff from Sansei LightSpeed haha. Even then the stuff I was posting was about the basics I had learned for anyone else that's a beginner, as I still am.
It's okay to bring in information from third parties. We all do it, and my wife knows her medical stuff. So I will quote her. I have some American friends with their gun love. So I ask them a lot of questions, but I still don't comment too much on gun stuff, because the UK legal stuff isn't exactly my knowledge base.
Many people hide opinion as fact, which can be very difficult to differentiate for newer preppers/survivalists.
