The internet "SUPER SUCKS" for new preppers to learn about prepping....SAD.

[Sourdough]

It is someplace between Very-Very Bad Evil and New World Record Evil.

And it can't be mitigated, changed, corrected or purified, and that is Sad.

You could replace “preppers” with any category of folks - finding real info is difficult on any topic. I love old journals- that being one of reasons.

These forums always get ugly in the lead up to elections.

US elections work like a megaphone for division and dysfunctionality.

They show how perverse democracy has become.

One thing i have found out too last 6 months. I had tons of websites saved over the years and i been going back to look at some of them.Many are gone. People are cutting expenses and self deleting stuff plus some places are deleting folks like youtube etc.

I know one guy has business and he was sick in hospital and his domain name got taken over...its going to cost him $500 to get it back now just as example and its unique name too.

Some of saved stuff was from colleges,govt dept like usda etc. too.

Not saying that there are NO gems.
But for someone just starting into prepping, internet is 100% UNCLEAR as to the way forward. And it is going to get much worse.

I was a grown man before I heard of a Prepper.
We were country Folks, not true Homesteaders.
A homesteader was a city dude that take his family west to get free land & most died or were killed.
Long hard days of high heat or very cold, scratching out a living.

We had out door Bath rooms, but indoor water, no AC or central heat, just a wood stove.
No insulation in the ninety year old farm house, with a tin roof & wood floors.
I have met people who think farm animals take care of themselves.
Farm animals are big babies, who need care 24/7.
I have walked in the rain at night looking for animals that went for a walk.
But with all that, there are four or five good forums that can meet most needs, not all as good as this forum.
But they can enlighten the lose souls.
Then there are people like Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms & Justin Rhodes.
