Greetings from another newbie! I bet there are all kinds of people reading this forum for all kinds of reasons! I have been gleaning from this site for ages to learn all I can about surviving as self-reliantly as possible..."just in case". I am researching everything from water purifying and firemaking to what to have in my stay-in-place supplies. I really do appreciate all the information I have gained from you guys and am taking this opportunity to say...Thanks!
