    Thanks for being level headed

    As the title states....

    I'm on a few boards as Echo2....and have joined in a few more in the last few months.

    My reason for doing this...other than to meet fine folks like yourselves....is to learn and prepare for a "Preparedness" class that I'm going to be teaching in conjunction with my CCW classes. I do make notes on particularly interesting talking points from many sites and sources.

    But by in far...this site has some of the more realistic folks that I have run into.

    Some of the other new sites I have joined or lurked around on.....seem to have some very ill tempered folks. I can't believe the way some folks attack a "newbie" who has asked the "every prepping/survival site" questions. Things such as bet pistol?....best rifle?....best shotgun?....Where to get...?...how to find....?. The lists go on and on.

    I have found that most the folks here will generally direct someone to the proper thread....not ridicule them and ask them if they ever heard of a search engine.

    Also....If you have an opinion on a certain matter.....it's generally stated as just that....an opinion. Take it or leave it. A general difference in opinion is a good thing.....and a lively debate can help both parties learn. But I have found no "That's the way it is so STFU&GTFO" attitude here.

    So just a line here to say thanks to all involved.

    That is all.

    Carry on.

    Echo I agree totally with your statement. I am on several forums for many different topics, from prepping to vehicle specific to weapons, to tractors, chickens, farming, blades, tools, etc. Out of every single one this is far and away the best site of them all. Folks on here are generally very helpful and will bend over backwards to "lend a hand". It is rare for someone on here to jump in your shit for anything that is within the rules for this site and most of those folks were banned for being asshats anyway.

    I understand that. I've mostly stopped hanging out on quite a few forums I was on, just because of that.
    There is one other forum I still frequent, leaving this one and that one as my only two primary forums, but it's not prepping related at all.
    I also use the same username everywhere, makes it simpler.


    Meant to add: That other forum is like this, everybody's level headed, helps each other out, etc. There's no politics, religion, or tin foil allowed there either.
