sorry

I just cannot help commenting when my BS detector goes off the scale.
Most people on here are ace, there are a few individuals that aren't and if their outlook doesn't change they are going to find things very difficult post event

i am not your typical young whippersnapper, with borderline rickets and square eyes. I've been around the block a few times.
I know for a fact, that unless you build a bunker with a scrubbing tower, sewerage, some sort of hydroponics for growing, some sort of solar or wind system to power such hydroponics, then you are GOING to have to forage eventually, thats when you get spotted, then you HAVE to travel.
in the first two paragraphs of your above post you've pretty much described yourself........
apart from the age bit lol
and since in the 900 odd days you've been registered on the forum, you've been online for a scary 2736 hours.
thats a scary 3 hours per day on average, 7 days a week.
Now i also happen to know you love "researching" sites, preferrably american, to post links to, and carefully hand crafting tinfoil hats into various animal shapes.
if you add these 2 things together, you come up with someone that sits on their hoop most of the day, some would say an "armchair warrior"
I work 50-60 hours per week, and i'd be willing to bet i'm more proactive than you my friend!
just because you don't agree with something paul, doesn't make it automatically wrong!
Have you ever considered the younger, newer, members may have a fresher outlook, and ultimately have researched things with open minds?
wake up bud, before its too late
and back on topic,
Roaming HAS to be considered, even if it's roaming while waiting on the coast to be clear before approaching your primary BOL, should your home base be comprimised.
IE you travel to a staging area where you can see your approach to your BOL, but 1km or so away, you see a party camping, you've no idea if they are freindly or not, and your other BOL is 3 days walk away.
i'd consider staying in the area to see if said party moved on
Binnie,i'm on forums because unlike some on here I don't have to go out an earn a living, I've done all that, so I have the time to do other things then come back online. there seems to be an element on here that poo-poos anything someone with a bit of experience has said, what I say online I have done, its from either my personal experience or a relatives experience, or is something I know to be true, or is my considered opinion based on fact or experience or both. this forum seems to be inhabited by the Facebook and Twitter generation who think they know it all-about everything- and nobody except themselves has a valid opinion. there are people on here who haven't been here 5 minutes and all of a sudden they think their some kind of expert? I came on forums to get info and knowledge and I'm still learning, but not on this forum any more, this has fallen to the level of a debating society or lower, I cant remember the last time anyone except NR imparted some knowledge of worth, its just turned into an ego fest.
no one forces you to come on here bud, i'm no expert, but i don't blindly take someones word as gospel.
i do however have a decent idea of who to listen to on here, and who to ignore...
in some cases, those with the least to say, say the most.....
