Protection Plan

[NorthernRaider]

Forums can only be a small part of a preppers arrangements, 90% of material on forums is either opinion, third hand information, out of date, inapplicable to the readers circumstances and simply wrong. One can only glean snippets of useful information here and there.
Part of the problem is far to many people are simply consumers, they join forums to download material and not to contribute that's just life, as are the fantasists, wannabes and hobby preppers its easier to simply ignore or block the irrelevant stuff.

The one aspect of American prepping culture I so admire is their " Can do and will do" attitude compared to the predominant UK attitude of "I've 500 pathetic reasons why I cannot" All the genuinely interested can do is to try and tip toe through the detritus and pick out the useful bits that interest them. Sadly for me many of the opinions and viewpoints I benefit from simply get closed or deleted.

Anyway over the last few years everyone I admired and learned so much from appear to have given up on forums.
