You probably read the rules when you were signing up – (you DID read the rules, right?) but here’s a quick rundown.
We want to keep this forum a friendly place where anyone who wants to learn about survival and self-reliance can feel welcome.
No politics.
No politics are allowed whatsoever in the main forum. This means you don’t deride other political parties, you don’t promote your own political party, and you avoid getting into arguments about these things. If you do, your comment will be removed and we’ll warn you not to do it again. If it happens a second time, you will not be allowed to stay in the forum. There IS a section in the Wild West Subforum for politics. This is unmoderated and it’s up to the members who choose to participate there to remain civil.No religion.
This forum is open to people with many different belief systems. We’ve found things remain a lot more peaceful and focused if we simply remove this as a topic of discussion. This means you don’t criticize the religions of others, you don’t promote your own religion, and you don’t answer questions from other members with religious doctrine. This does not mean that Selco and Daisy worship the devil. It simply means that we would like for you to avoid discussing what almost always turns into a heated topic in our forum. There IS a section in the Wild West Subforum for religion. This is unmoderated and it’s up to the members who choose to participate there to remain civil.No abusive behavior.
Just be nice. You can disagree without being uncivil. Everyone is here to learn and share. If that isn’t what you’re hoping for, you may want to choose a different forum. No name-calling, no racism, no derogatory speech, no insults. Not here on this forum. Not even in the Wild West Subforum can you behave in this manner.No selling.
Many people have their own products and websites. That’s really great and we have ONE area for this, the Marketplace. You may promote what you sell in this thread only. This forum is run by Daisy and Selco and only they are permitted to sell products or use affiliate links. We appreciate your cooperation with this. Any purchases a member makes through another member in the Marketplace is solely the responsibility of those members. Selco and Daisy bear no responsibility for these transactions.Content
You may post advice, questions, photos, information, and comments on this forum.Please do not post other people’s content in full on this forum. You may post an excerpt and a link out to that content so that we are not infringing on anyone’s copyright.
You are responsible for performing your own due diligence before using any of the advice on this forum. The content on this forum is provided as general information only. The ideas expressed on this forum are solely the opinions of the person posting and do not necessarily represent the opinions of Selco, Daisy, our sponsors or firms affiliated with us.

AnonymousThanks for another way to get great information, and I’m so glad you and Selco aren’t devil worshippers, lol!😂
-
Hah-hah! Is there anything here like the emojiis we were used to on FB??
-
-
Got it

-
😊
-
Sounds easy enough 😊
-
Sounds good
-
Lookin’ GOOD!
-
thank you For the forum 🙂
-
Curses! And here I was sure this was part of your guys’ nefarious scheme to start a prepcult. Thanks for keeping it awesome and creating this forum! The silencing on other sites has been very concerning.
-
Hahahahahaha – a prep cult! BUSTED!
-
No devil worship?😲😲😲 but,but,but,but… I have the goat already!
-
Wait! We get a goat? How come I didn’t know that? Oh wait – the county won’t let us have goats or chickens because we have less than one acre! Darn!
-
-
Prep cult!
🙂
-
Jim, take your goat to the Wild West area, please. 😉
-
Can I have it? Goat meat can be quite tasty.
-
“Jim, take your goat to the Wild West area, please. 😉”
I take it prostitution is legal there?
-
-
hehehehehe Prepcult. Heheheheheheh
-
Hey, there, fellow cult member! 😀
-
Sounds good 👌
-
But hey, if you were devil-worshipers, it wouldn’t really matter unless you’re using hidden messages to indoctrinate us into your goatliness. And that would be against the rules, right? 😉
-
Not From Around Here, EXACTLY!
-
You guys are really funny; I’m going to like this forum.
-
A rule-question:
If a thread is closed in facebook-group, does it mean that the topic are banned in this forum as well? Or, can the subject/question have ‘a second chance’ to be raised here among forum members?
Daisy, what’s your take? 🙂

So glad you left the devil worshiping quip in! My morning was made! 🙂 The goat comment just sealed the deal. Ha! Glad to see this up and running. You and Selco have been an invaluable source of good information and I am looking forward to learning more!

Hello Sebastian!
It is bit hard to give you “generic” answer to this, but in the essence if your topic got banned in our fb group there was good reason for ban.
On the other way if you want to talk about politics or religion in depth there are subforums for that here, so just go on.
If you read rules of the forum i think it is pretty clear what is all about, if you have additional specific questions about it feel free to ask.
I hope this helps.
P.S. next time when you show up on my real courses again, I will give you some real hard excersises and tasks, because you testing my English knowledge levels with questions like this.
🙂 -
Great!
-
I want to thank both of you for your efforts in the level headed, honest preps advice for the inquiring world. (kinda wordy)
been following you from the side for years (in a good way of course)be seeing you soon

Can we talk about sports? The three topics I tell people I won’t discuss is; politics, religion, and sports. 🙂
-
Ah, the list art of civility. I didn’t think I’d ever see it again. Got it.
-
Who doesn’t love rules, right? I know I do!
-
sounds good
-
The rules sound reasonable and rational. I’ve learned so much from Selco over the years. And more recently from Daisy. I look forward to further useful learning opportunities here on this forum.
-
Excellent! Just recently found you guys and LOVE the articles. Looking forward to learning more and sharing by experience, both mine and all of yours. and sooooooooo happy to back in a forum setting! Awesome idea. thank you both
-
I go through and read all these comments and discover I’m surrounded by smart a**es. It’s like motherhood but with 350 children.
In answer to some questions I saw:
Sebastian, if it was banned on the FB group, it’s because the arguing was getting out of hand. That is pointless. No one learns and everyone just gets mad and flounces away. You can post more controversial stuff in the Wild West area of the forum but I’d really love for this to be a positive experience for everybody, you know?
Forums: Yeah, this is very 90s/early 2000s, but I believe it’s more private. It’s definitely more private than the Book of Faces. Plus, I loved forums back in those days and am still friends with some folks I met on old-school forums.
Goats: They’re like mischievous toddlers with hooves. That is the reason they’re cute – because no one would put up with them otherwise.
I think I covered everything. 🙂

AnonymousI read the rules after I made my introduction (it’s an issue with me) and when I went to edit my intro I found out the edit option only works very briefly…only broke the rules a little 🙁 It won’t happen again I promise 🙂

Still learning how to navigate this site/forum….
Thanks for starting it, thanks for clear rules.
Hope to learn how to better take care of my family loved ones and community in times of crisis. -
New to forums. Had to install word press. Had never heard of it before!
-
Thanks so much for the new place to chat! Daisy and Selco, heads up that the language in the “Links to other websites” section might need some editing. Or at least I would propose a few changes?

AnonymousYou house, your rules, happy to oblige. 🙂

AnonymousHave you created this Marketplace area? I can’t find it.
-
THANK YOU for this new and more-secure, politics-free site. I see that it still addresses google-analytics as it loads, though. Guess that was unavoidable? Have it bookmarked in a prominent position, and will check it often. Cheers!
-
Have you created this Marketplace area? I can’t find it.
yep, it is there, we ll work on more details there.
-
Thank you Appreciate this.

Oh fizzle… and here I was all ready to haul out my voodoo outfit from a few decades ago for that prep cult!! Oh well, it doesn’t fit that well anymore, anyhow. Maybe too much testing of homemade MREs?!

Regarding goats…they are only good if you don’t own them or have to take care of them. XD I had to do so from age 7-17 and I was NOT a fan. They are the most bull-headed creatures (and we removed their horns!) that kept jumping out of 6-7 foot pens. But they do eat everything (so natural lawn mowers) and make a ton of milk. Also, good for meat. But seriously, if I got them again in the future, I’d make someone else milk them (they will kick over your pail every time, or kick your hands and chew your hair). In all seriousness, too, we made sure we locked up all goats around Halloween…

Daisy is any one dose having difficulty following this format?. Or is it just me?. I try to find threads etc. I am so confused.
-
AnonymousTo make sure I am not missing posts I am interest in I have subscribed to the RSS feed. Much easier to keep track of everything.
-
That’s a great idea! We really ARE going old school.
-
-
Hi, Cambria! I think the issue is that this is pretty old school so it doesn’t have the fancy bells and whistles of some formats.
To find a thread, you can look on the sidebar for “Recent topics” which are threads that were recently started. Click on the name of the thread and it will take you to that thread.
If you want to see what people are talking about, look for “Recent replies.” Those are the threads that have been most recently active.
If you want a category of thread types, look on the same sidebar for “Forums” – this will take you to the general forum, where you’ll find all the topics and subforums.
I hope this helps! If not, please feel free to ask questions until you feel comfortable 🙂
-
Just some old fashioned talking about everyday stuff that really means something to each of us here on this Earth as well the betterment of Humanity.
-
Thanks you two for setting this up! Sadly, several older Prep sites became so uncivil that I stopped going to them.
-
Civility really does seem to be a lost art. We’re determined not to have those problems here. At least, not for long. 😉
-
The rules make sense!
-
What are Morals? What are Ethics?
Even the dictionary confuses the two, they are not the same. Morals are the ‘rules’ society places on desired behavior that doesn’t harm others. And morals are enforced by society’s rules or laws.
Ethics are what a person places on him or herself. We behave ethically because it is right behavior in our own estimation.
-
Got it👍🏻
-
Thank you so much for this safe place and great information
-
Got it.
-
Looking forward to it! Daisy, I have seen a few articles but will admit I don’t know your site that well (that will change?), but it would be great to hear your “how you met” story of Selco. I am am “student” of his school, and really appreciate what he has done and what is being offered through that site. You picked a solid prep partner.
-
Many thanks!
-
MN Dude, Selco and I met back when I was a partner in Prepper’s University. He did a webinar for us there. He and I chatted a little bit before the presentation. A bit later, I was curious about a few things he had mentioned in the webinar, so I sent him an email and asked if he would write an article for my website. His fantastic articles became a regular thing and we became buddies. We decided to work together on some projects and here we are. 🙂 Selco is a really great guy.
-
AnonymousAll very reasonable, nice to meet you and thank you for creating this forum.
-
What no goat cheese: I have read the rules as well and I agree. I am learning my way around and love what I see. Very friendly people. I to have been on a couple of other forums that went by the wayside. Though one was really great for a long time with great folks, it got hacked. When it was fixed so many people had already moved on and now no one to keep an eye on things so a lot of trolling and other mess. I had to get away from it. Please don’t let that happen here. Owner of that site is AWOL.
-
Welcome, you guys! We run a pretty tight ship 🙂
-
These sound very reasonable. 🙂
-
What is the procedure for reporting a post in one of the main Forum threads (not in the Wild West section) that contains abusive comments about a certain political party? I already sent an email about it through the “Contact” link at the top of the webpage but I want to be sure I have reported it correctly. Thank you.
-
seems simple enough.
-
Pretty clear
-
Understood.
So says the Devil’s Advocate.
-
Thanx for this! I mostly lurk and read. Might comment occasionally. Will enjoy!
-
Good setup. Appreciate the invite to your place, Selco & Daisy. Will keep the mud off your carpets….
-
Welcome Optimist!

This is perfect!
Thank you for the set-up and invite!

AnonymousYES, I can do this. Thank you for the refresher in the rules.
-
Read and agreed!
-
Ok, have read again and agree as well. I came on here yesterday and the day before and a lot of porn was on here. So I didn’t log in. Just got off as thought it might be infected. I also have noticed no one has been on here much at all.
Got an e-mail IPL schedule PDF download, Indian premier league IPL 2020. Don’t know what that is but it did bring me here to the rules. Hoping it is not something that will infect my computer. Seems something is going on. Just being careful.
-
@littlesister,
Yeah, we get hit with SPAM every now and again. Not as bad as it used to be. But about once or twice a week on average.
The alternative is to put everyone on “needs approved” before posting. That would require yours truly to have to read and approve each and every post. Bit cumbersome.
That is option of last resort!
So, instead, I pop on a few times a day, check for SPAM, delete as necessary.
I must admit, the IPL Indian Cricket thing was new as far as SPAM. Unless there is an .exe attached to any email you get, I think you should be ok.
-
-
AnonymousDaisy, I wish you would delete all the porn links showing up here on a daily basis. I find them offensive.
-
@Log Man,
I know.
I try my best, but this site can and will go days without those stupid posts, then we get hit with a dozen or more.
One morning I logged in and there were 101 of those.
I have to go though and manually delete them.
I put them on a blocked list, but they just create a new account and spam us again.
I try to keep on top of it, but based off the IP addy, many are overseas.
-
-
Crow bar, just a big Thank You for all the time you put in on this site.It’s just a shame that degenerates have to try and spoil things for the rest of us. I for one appreciate what you’ve been doing

@Mama Cando,
We have another option at our disposal: Put everyone into “Awaiting moderation approval.”
But that is just as time intensive as the SPAM getting posted, then deleted.
And, with the seasons changing, I will not be at the computer as much as I am now.
So, while it is disgusting, it is what we have.
-
-
Got it and good to go.
-
Yes, Ma’am! Got it!
-
Got it girl! Glad to still have y’all around!
-
Read and understood, makes a lot of sense to me.
thanks I have just begun to detach from Facebook before the election. been in facebook jail and couple of times and weird people sending friend’s requests.
-
Read again after reading along time ago. I agree 100%.
Daisy thank you for a safer way to post. We all need to get away from google. I am using Duck Duck go now but I think there might be a better one out there that I am looking for. Also need to check into VPN’s mine is an old one and I need to renew it soon.
