Any interest in a survival skills forum?

[TGO David]

I'm just wondering if any of you would be interested in seeing a sub-forum added here, devoted to discussion of survival skills. I can envision topics like:

• Camping and basic woodsman skills.
  
• Gardening, canning, pantry management.
  
• Shortwave radio, CB radio, etc.
  
• Storm shelters, natural disaster survival, etc.
  

I think it could be done intelligently and in such a way that it is educational. Far too many forums strictly devoted to those topics tend to be occupied by serious TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it) extremists and tinfoil hat conspiracy nuts. We could do it with... class.

Vote and let your thoughts be known! Ballots are private so others won't know how you voted.

Probably a good idea, not to mention that those who are interested in doing so could plan on meeting up if the SHTF to help each other out...

[BrasilNuts]

Great idea

yup

As long as the topic of "Sudden Zombie Outbreak" is discussed openly and objectively I'm all for it. (It's simply a matter of "When" not "If" gentlemen.)

Could that also be like an "outdoors" section. Many here like to camp, backpack, canoe, fish, etc.

Maybe a more broad title and description to cover survival and outdoor skills maybe. Just a thought.

Oh yeah.... and zombie stuff.

Sure, why not?

I mean, how many others here even have a dog eared copy of the SAS Survival Guide?

LOFTY!

Zombies?

[PackinMama]

Sounds like a great idea to me. I know this has been mentioned elsewhere...and at least once by me.....but BackwoodsHome.com is a great resource for self sufficient living for those that may be interested.

Just because he's a sick freak... not because of any relevant survival methods.

[NuTcAsE]

Yep, been lookin for a good survival site.

[Guest flyfishtn]

I voted yes as long as we keep the tin foil hat crap off limits.

[Guest tedbo]

I voted yes as there are a couple of like-mindeds near me and it will do much to keep the zombies as bay.

Tin-foil time already!

[strickj]

I voted no,and it appears I'm almost alone on that.

I really didn't think there was that many on here.........guess thats what I get for doing my own thinking!

....Sick and proud of it!

But not as sick as you my little Roman Helmet buddy!

Actually, with all of the survival forums on the net, I would like to see this one stick to guns. I have a link at work to a new upstart for being prepared. I will post it tomorrow.

[Guest Astra900]

A yes from from me.

[Paletiger13]

I'm for it. What about a Tennessee Citizen Malitia?

Oh, as long as I'm not subject to gay pictures.

[bteague2]

I voted yes, there are lots of websites with information on them but local info is always better.

[Smith]

Yeah, I really like the outdoor stuff, but not because the end of the world is coming and I've got to run to the hills. If there was some way to avoid the inevitable tin foil SHTF paranoia, I think it would be great.

[saintsfanbrian]

Here is the link that I was talking about. They don't want religion or politics discussed simply being prepared for the worst regardless of how it comes:

Although I voted Yes, perhaps a TGO Social Group dedicated to the topic would be better than a sub-forum?

Good call Fallguy... we should totally form our own Zombie Squad!
