    And you were right...Next underhanded or overt comment will earn 4 days off. Survival prep has nothing to do with politics.

    Appreciate the help. I ended up buying him two new magazines for his Colt 1911 + ammo and a set of door handles for his Jeep. I got warned by my wife that buying him any type of "survival" gear would cost me dearly with my mother in law.

    Kinda harsh for the few mundane comments that were made don't you think Brunes? I guess we all have to do what we have to do, don't we? Read on.

    Actually politics does have a lot to do with survival prep. After all it is the politicians that make the decisions that will effect us all. They decide who gets the handouts and who pays for the handouts. They decide who we piss off in this world and who we help, which can bite us down the road. They decide on policy after policy that either positively or negatively effects us all. After this last election it even more important that we all buckle down and prepare that much harder for the coming times. Just sayin'...

    The politicians and their decisions require us to look at said decisions and make changes to our lives so we can best survive and therefore thrive in the environment they create. My survival decisions start with assessing the state of the world and this country, and the politicians control, or attempt to control, where the world and the country move. And in my opinion it's moving backwards, or should I say, in a direction I don't believe we should be heading.

    The takers just out voted the makers. :(

    So I have to adjust my survival decisions accordingly in regard to the politicians who will be effecting my family and our future.

    I Just paid off all my credit card debt, sold my Tacoma :mad:, bought a used camry and an old FJ62 :), and refi'd the house. Lots more money for preps now and hardly any debt which will greatly help my chances in the future. Good luck to you all and God bless America. :cool:

    ...too much shit to list.

    Regardless of how true or untrue you statements are, it's a simple rule: NO POLITICS. You're still breaking the rules of the forum whether it's one "mundane" comment or 10.
    Seriously, that's like me posting a picture of a chick with only one of her tits completely showing and then wondering why I got banned. Sure some of us will appreciate a morning tit to start our day, but in the end, it's a rule...no nudity upstairs. So do everyone a favor, keep your political agenda and thoughts to yourself so everyone can enjoy the thread.

    If that's how you feel we can easily update the forum rules to include survival discussions on the list of banned/bannable topics. I'm sure the other members in this thread will appreciate your contribution to the site.

    I read that whole thing and all I got out of it is that you want to talk about politics so you created an elaborate justification.
    You can discuss survival equipment, techniques, and scenarios without bringing politics into it....And I highly recommend that you do.

    This is a good thread, I was disappointed to have to read all the political BS. Survival prep really doesn't have anything to do with politics.

    Wow, this is a long thread. I think it took me a few weeks to read all of it. I do believe that I have one of the Foxfire books, just not sure and can't check from work. My advice, take advantage of all this information on the internet, and download as much info as you can. Then, as you get time, print it all off, and put in binders. I probably have 2-3, 3" binders full of printed off information, from a variety of topics that I believe will be of use to me when the SHTF.
    A lot of people store websites to info in their favorites and what not, but this may not always be available to you when you really need it. I consider my binders to be some of the most important preps that I have. The human brain can only store so much information before you start forgetting little details, so a printed hardcopy is great insurance. I would suggest, as others have, Survivalblog.com as a great resource. You can get to an index of articles people have submitted that is very long with good information and broken down by topic. I have printed a lot of this out as well as various other bits and pieces. Do it now, while you still can.

    And now I feel like I have to defend myself and it will most likely get me banned. So be it, I have no control over your choices. And I didn't break any rules here. And I don't have a "political agenda" as one of you mentioned. Maybe you do, therefore you are trying to classify me as having one to dismiss my legitimate comments. Again, your choice.

    And I'm sorry you completely misunderstood what I wrote. :( But I don't have any control over how you see the world. The last thing I want to do is talk about politics.

    As mentioned earlier, I'm not blind to the fact that politics and everyone/everything involved with that, greatly effect all of our lives and we all need to prepare for said effects. I'm sorry a lot of you can't see that. I didn't "create an elaborate justification". That's ridiculous! And I'm not that smart.

    I simply stated the truth and discussed how I am "prepping" for the future based on how these people are shaping the world we live in. It's one part of how I'm preparing to survive the future, natural disasters, economic collapse, etc, etc...

    And being debt free is a legitimate survival topic!!! Probably more important than a lot of the topics in this thread. And a topic that is greatly discussed on many of the survival websites along with how politics are shaping our world. I'm not a pioneer here and I don't have an "agenda". Again, ridiculous.:rolleyes:

    As I said in my other post and since this will most likely be my last post here...good luck to all and God bless America. :cool:

    Take care guys and gals.

    That one quote is just a sample of the folks who think you can discuss survival without discussing politics. Talking about politics is verboten on TW...so you clearly did something wrong.

    You've got 4 days and a PM to think about - If you can't realize that you are in contravention of the rules - then you are better off not posting. When the current ban lifts- Think carefully about what you post. IF it's so important to you to bundle political commentary into your discussion of survival topics - Do us all a favor and find another site.
