Just curious. I really enjoy learning about useful things and this section and related sub-sections are dead. Are we mostly city dwelling keyboard surfers here at GSUS?

Post up something?

It's always been a low-traffic part of the forum... I'm hoping that as the economy continues to come apart at the seams, there will be more activity here.

I figured that most people are at their prep comfort level.

I mean how many times can some one post the top "100 things you will wish you had" or a link from survival blog?

I personally uses a prep "round robin" method, and I am in the bullion phase, vice the beans or bullets phase.

My next big prep leg up is buying a ranch out in the middle of nowhere. (80+acres) I am waiting for the next big drop to do so so I can buy it outright. After I acheve that phase though my internet usage will drop to virtualy zero.

The goal is off grid and basically a sustenance ranch/ homestead.

The goal is a total cost of living of 500-1000 frn's /month. For diesel, nails, salt, that type of crap I am not going to want to make.

It's because the forum has only been here about six months, and most members prefer to discuss ethnic slurs instead of anything useful. In the last few days they have toned down that action in favor of current events. They didn't quit, but they did at least tone it down some. I thought that was very nice of them. But don't hold your breath waiting for prep info.

MOST members?!?!?

When you are done generalizing, why don't you wake the hell up!? It isn't MOST members!

I don't expect a response because you've generally backed out of any issue you have been challenged on.

Oh god Saul, it's all about ethnic slurs isn't it? Your true colors are really starting to show lately. FYI, IT'S ABOUT THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH SUCKS, BUT MUST BE TOLD. Maybe you should apologize for your tribes involvement with creating all this, instead of name calling.

I've stood up to National socialism, so have many people on this forum. One National Socialist left recently because no one bought what he was selling!

Although Saul make some pretty common sense points from time to time, do not let him paint us with a broad brush! I'm calling him on it NOW.

Im a NS but ,this subforum isnt the place for that discussion. As a NS, Im also obsessed with Order, and dont like it disrupted, Saul has just done that. I think its been dead lately is the PMs market is pretty volatile,and getting some attention. which is what attracted us to here in the first place. This subforum perks up when DOOM is in the wind.

I stand by what I said. What you stated was false. No topic interfers with posting about preps, and I still contest the "most" statement as I would any false generalization

But, maybe I overreacted. I never chased someone off before, and I didn't mean to either...

I have an idea, let's move the preps section to thunderdome.

I am an idiot, but from info gleaned here and there and at GIM1 I have a henhouse with 22 girls, a miracle garden that in spite of my stupidity has produced so much produce that I cannot bear another canning session, nor can my neighbors. I have managed to procure a decent supply of wood without cutting off my damn leg, and based on info gained here and there, I have done all this wrong also, and should really be dead right now.

These are a few of the reasons that I think the preps section is important.

I have batteries and some TP and lots of food and some fuel and this and that and all the crap on the list for the most part. I don't have energy sustainability, I don't have a non-electrical way to pump my well water, which, after this summer with the garden is the most important thing that must be working. I don't know how to save my seeds from my heirloom crops. I don't know how to prevent cross-pollinization. I don't know anything about cucumber beetles until they wiped out my production. I don't know half the extent of the universe of things I don't know.

I want to know. I think there are people somewhere that aren't bat-shit cockeyed crazy that want to know this stuff too.

And since I am griping my whiney puss ass here, where the hell are the gold and silver people on this damn board?

It is gold-silver.us

The markets are doing gyrations and there's like three posts a day about it.

I won't flame out like a puss-bag and drama post. I won't even delete my account. I will just lurk and disappear if this site continues down the path.

/rant off.

Peace all

Mouse, Look at what Saul posted before you get mad. then look at his other posts, We were discussing the subforum and HE brought up the BS.Then when RJB denied his claims personally, he quit. Hes been posting like that for some time.If you look I posted some longer posts in the condo thread concerning urban survival if your interested,and Im planning a thread on other stuff. Yes Im a NS, but I do want to live!As far as PMs go, im not saying anything after reading about the Weiner meeting thursday, where they want PM sellers to turn in sales records to be taxed.

I fully concur. There is minimal interest in G&S here as far as I can tell. Little snipets here and there, but that's about it. Same with preps. Really, this is more of a fringe political/social/ leanings site. Flame away. It's just the way it is.

They might be posting on the Censored Deuce or they might have left GSUS because of what it had become instead of what it should be (about gold and silver). I say to give GSUS a chance. Just my opinion.

I'm a little confused about your complaint. Instead of posting your last rant. Simply:

Go to the preps section. Click on "New topic," and type in the subject heading "How do I save seeds from this year?" Then in the body ask more specific questions. Then wait a few minutes for answers and then ask follow up questions.

This approach will get you more answers than this thread...

21st September 2010, 07:14 AM
BTW mouse, I wasn't being sarcastic in the post above. I've been saving seeds for years. It's just something I do.

I can't afford a solar rig so I'm not interested in that.

I am heavily into primitive skills, traps, weaponry, living skills, etc. This weekend, I'm making atlatl darts from river cane that I cut a few weeks ago.

I usually post stuff about that on primitive skills forums that I frequent. I didn't know there was much interest for it here.

Anyway the post that's missing said that I wasn't being sarcastic when I told mouse to ask a question. I've been saving seeds for years. It's something I do and don't really mention unless asked. Asking would have produced more results than the above rant.

My big hobby is primitive skills (primitive trapping, weaponry, living etc.) I've taught them at gatherings and rendezvous. This weekend I'm looking to make some atlatl darts from rivercane that I cut a few weeks ago. If interested, I'll post something here.
