Yep, tough crowd. We've heard it all and learned how to separate the sheep from the goats.MAVERICK----
WOW-- what a tough crowd here... no one believes anything....

It's not that we are unaccepting of people who are different (hell, we live our lives different from most of those around us so we're used to it). And I don't doubt that you have some good skills. We would love to hear about your skills, how you build these things, and how that can help with prepping. If everything you say about yourself is true you definitely have valuable knowledge to contribute. So go and do that - that's the purpose of this forum. If you have knowledge to contribute in several different areas, all the better. What we are (rightly) suspicious of is people who we don't know coming in and trying to sell us stuff.Roninsensel----
Thank you for your advice....
1. AS "YOU"stated; you guys are all long time members- and you guys are - -((( A lot of us here are former military, security contractors, martial artists, hunters and survivalists )))
BUT I AM NOT. First I am an engineer (structural) and I am also a long time kindergarten teacher specializing in children who are abused and//or have disorders. Because I am on the downhill slide to 70 NOW I have time for my hobbies and my interests.
2. WAS I EXCITED in my first post-- YES-- and I still am. I get excited about things that interest me.... and that is why I sold military weapons for 4 years in the 70's and why I got into target rifle manufacturing... I LOVE Mechanical things... and I have built a few HOT cars in my day- including great Harley choppers... EXCITED- bloody right I was excited---
3. And yes- I was aware that my IDEA was not original-- but the fact still remains that it is a good idea-- AND -- no one has done it yet... AND YES-- I do understand money constraints and "TALENTED PEOPLE" constraints - but those are just part of business. If it was easy- then it would have already been done.....
4. MY MAIN BEEF is that you guys are good at what YOU do--- but it seems that you are unaccepting of anyone who is DIFFERENT than you guys?? JUST MY OPINION AND OBSERVATION.....
I cannot DO what you guys do-- well-- most of you anyway--
"BUT YOU GUYS cannot do what I do... is that a fair enough statement?
I have answered every negative reply with REAL answers-- not one word expletives like "bologna"... etc... etc....
This latest Bio-Weapon- the Coronavirus- is what prompted me to post my idea.... AND IT IS STILL A GOOD IDEA no matter who has it! If it was already operating I would be a good customer...
And a lot of the items being sold online simply do not work. I design CLEAN ROOMS- so I understand radiation and filtration and carbon dioxide absorption.... and EMP stoppage... but the bunkers I see being sold with these expensive AIR SYSTEMS could not even survive a forest fire with a lot of ash----- but hey- I regress....
I posted my EMAIL on the first post to add credibility--
I have not hidden anything....
And I really think that many people on these sites simply do not understand ANYONE who is not a "one trick pony" like perhaps they are. I am multi-talented-- so what-- WHY SHOULD THAT MAKE ME ANY LESS BELIEVABLE.....
AND NO- I am certainly not a salesperson...
And do not worry about deleting me-- if the online comments don't improve then I will delete myself- because I am not here to argue with anyone.... AND YES-- maybe some of the members have been on these sites too long... ha ha!
STAY SAFE

You call bologna???? nasty-
But hey- you are entitled to your opinion- no matter how wrong it may be......
CORRECTIONS: I never said I worked for Barrett? Why would you make such an assumption? WHATEVER reason- you are 100% wrong....
And theirs was a 25mm grenade round- - nothing even REMOTELY close to what I am doing....
And by WE- I meant myself and the client....
REGARDS my first postings about a WHOLESALE for PREPPERS- I did receive numerous replies via private email-- so I asked them- WHY DIDN'T you guys just post & reply online ... and they all said the same thing- - that there are too many jealous haters on the site that really do not have any real point to add- they just want to argue....
Well that's the problem. We don't "push" ideas here; we share them. And just because you think something is a good idea (presumably because you will benefit from it) doesn't mean it actually is a good idea for anyone else. Damn. I can say that no one will be sorry to see you go. So, bye.Well--- very sorry you think that.... I think you are very jaded...
But hey…. I tried to push a good idea... but you kept attacking me instead of discussing the idea- so I will not waste any more of my time OR YOURS.
Now our little offline email group is up to 12-- and if anyone else wants to Chime in-- feel welcome...
But after tomorrow I will delete myself from this site---
Take care
