that goes for everybody else too, in stead of moaning about what other people post or have opinions on, how about some one else taking a lead and posting some good prepping info, not chit chat, or complaining that something someone else has put up is not relevant or is a load of bollocks, time for the rest of you to take a lead, maybe then us oldies can take a back seat and let you get on with it. this site does not run itself, its only as good as what anyone puts on it, so lets see what ya'all can do, although I'm not holding my breath going by past experiences.

In the last 2 weeks, I've started (probably) around 45% of the recent threads. Do I want a medal? Well, actually it would be nice, yes. But I don't post about how awesome I am....oh wait haha.

The thing is, people want an open discussion. I appreciate TOF's input, I appreciate BM's input. I seek out LS's input, and when TH isn't hunting, I get his input too. I appreciate nearly all input. But the thing is, a lot of threads get derailed, when they should really be made into new threads, to stop information getting lost, e.g. when I asked about BOL Camo, then started a thread about Roaming Bugging Out, because Dev gave a new perspective I'd not explored before.

People, especially new members, want their posts answered and not derailed with different things. For an example of how quickly stuff can be derailed...If someone asks about input on what a Gerber Machete is like, the replies will be stuff like "I don't want to use a machete post SHTF" or "I love my Mora" or something like that. As great as those things might be, it doesn't answer the question, it just increases a post count. The same with guns, where someone will ask about that, and the discussion goes about how awful guns are and how you'll get out of ammo before you've even fired a round, and how awesome bows and arrows are. Instead of derailing a thread, start a new one! Or, better yet, why not answer the question being asked. When I asked about how to camo a BOL, it took nearly 2 pages to get an answer to my question!!! REALLY?!?!? TWO PAGES OF CHAT BEFORE THE QUESTION WAS ANSWERED!!!!!

So, I think answering the question and being positive about other input, or even disagreeing nicely, would really help newer members a lot more.
