p.s. There are no stupid questions. Sometimes the questions that seem too simple to ask are the most important. So ask, okay?

Most of the people on this board are guys. They are brighter, more educated, more knowledgeable, and more willing to pass on what they know than any place I've been, or any board I've ever seen. No matter what you want to know, someone here knows something about it. Even if they don't know exactly what you want, they can usually point you in the right direction to do some research.

If you need to know how to turn off the natural gas to your house, there are at least 57 guys here who can explain how, what tool to use, and even show photos. They will tell you that you can turn something off, but you will have to have a professional turn it back on, and why. They know how long you can store gasoline, problems you're likely to run into with propane, and electrical stuff. They know about generators, well pumps, cell towers, satellite phones, ham radios, jury-rigging stuff, knots, materials you've never heard of, and pretty much every tool that has ever been invented.

They're just a tiny bit slow with the Spanish name of those big Mexican water urns, but someone will know it, I'm sure.

You can even ask about things that don't have anything to do with survival, just do it here at the Campfire.

Just ask.
