No, you were not dreaming.
For some reason, despite the painfully clear information found here there are, every week, at least 3 posts that are purged because they have the word "sheep" "PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER." or similar stuff in it.
This place is called EQUIPPED.ORG. It's about being EQUIPPED for SURVIVAL situations. It's not about how the situation came to be, who is responsible for how the situation came to be, what ethnic, religious or political group caused, prevented or incited the situation. It's not about anything other than the logistical planning for whatever scenarios you envision, but it's not for the discussion of your scenario beyond a point of reference.

Here's some examples:

GOOD POST:
How are people handling fuel storage in relatively small places? I'd like to have a 96 hour supply on hand, but am not sure how to figure out how much fuel I'll need.



BAD POST:
You know, when the SHTF, we'll have nobody but the republicrats to blame. I'm stocking up on fuel because I know the PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. will be totally freaked out when they can't fill their Hummers. We should have/should never have invaded somewhereistan. Well, i guess that the gun laws of America will be in my favor as I choose up sides in the coming battle between the red and blue states.



5 easy ways to tell your post will be deleted almost instantly:

1. The word "PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER." appears in it.
2. You would not read it aloud to your co-workers
3. You mention gun laws with words that mean "dumb" or "smart"
4. The names of any candidate for president are used.
5. There's no mention of equipment in it.

So, I'll mention equipment. I have 2 new rescue harnesses. I like them.


Carry on.

Please give some details here or in a new posting. I am always interested in what rescue harnesses people are using.

I have been using a CMC Pro class3 harness (separate – 2 piece- but intergraded seat and chest) for quite some time, but getting the chest harness on quickly without getting it twisted can be tricky.

Okay, whatever it was about, I get the idea that it wasn't about real sheep, real sheepdogs or real wolves. In that case, I'm not interested, anyway.

At least I'm not seeing things that were never there.

(Sorry, Shilo, no pictures of lambies. False alarm.)

so could say I was thinking about keeping "Ovis aries" to extend my fuel supply as they reduce my lawn mowing? And in a pinch they would provide fresh meat long after my freezer thawed.

8^) think of them as wool covered mainstay bars!
