So we no longer have to worry about viruses and other issues associated with Wetpaint.
I may volunteer to do this some time down the road - hence the reason for Long Term To Do. That is of course the community would let me. We can discuss the details when it becomes closer to reality. And if someone else volunteers, that is ok as well.

Noticed this a while back and it still seems like something that should be fixed.
You click 'Reference Materials' on the side bar, it brings up a page with a couple links. Back again in the side bar, you can click the show/hide contents arrow, and a completely different list of stuff comes up. Whole categories of stuff.
I think I squared away the 'Mega Survival Database' category when I put my ammo info pages in there so that you can navigate to the pages included in 'M.S.D' without knowing that you need to navigate by using the arrows.
When I added links to the home page of the category my things were in, I found out it's simply that you have link them yourself. I could do it, but would need permission to make these changes. Some of the stuff needs to be put into these lower categories, which I don't want to do.
So ya, I think those need to be gone through. Maybe we also need to add a page to instruct writing what they need to do if they add a page (add a link to it from the landing page).
Let me know if I failed to clearly say what I'm thinking. I'm not incredibly technical with website/forums stoof.

copied from Ozarks Area Survivalist list, best low budget plan I have seen, not perfect, but what is.
Set aside $10 a week to buy the specific items each week. You will have a kitty set aside that you put the $10 in and you can't touch it for any reason but to buy the food storage item for that week. Put in the remaining change back into the kitty. Some things in the beginning are going to be cheap and then later will be more expensive. In order to pay for the expensive stuff later you need to keep the leftover money in the kitty. Weeks 38 and 44 you will have "off" to replenish the kitty.
Week 1: 2 cans tuna fish, 2 boxes salt Week 2: 5 boxes of Macaroni and Cheese 4 cans tomato soup Week 3: 3 cans mushroom soup, 1 2.5 lb peanut butter Week 4: one bottle 365 count multi-vitamins Week 5: 4 cans tomato soup, 1 10 lb powdered milk Week 6: 1 bottle aspirin (500 tablets) Week 7: 1 100 lb container wheat Week 8: 1 5 lb powdered milk Week 9: 1 5 lb honey Week 10: 4 cans tuna, 4 boxes macaroni and cheese Week 11: 1 10 lb sugar, 1 box salt Week 12: 4 cans mushroom soup Week 13: 1 bottle 365 count multi-vitamins Week 14: 1 100 lb wheat Week 15: 1 box macaroni and cheese Week 16: 1 5 lb honey Week 17: 2 cans tuna, 4 can tomato soup Week 18: 1 10 lbs sugar Week 19: 1 100 lbs of wheat Week 20: 2 10lbs of sugar Week 21: 1 10lb powdered milk Week 22: 1 can mushroom soup, 1 10 lb sugar Week 23: 1 can tuna, 4 cans tomato soup, 1 10 lbs sugar Week 24: 1 10 lbs sugar Week 25: 2 cans tuna, 2 cans mushroom soup Week 26: 1 100 lb wheat

Week 27: 3 10 lbs sugar Week 28: 1 10 lb sugar Week 29: 1 10 lb powdered milk Week 30: 2 10 lb sugar Week 31: 1 can tuna, 3 cans mushroom soup Week 32: 1 can tuna, 4 cans tomato soup Week 33: 1 100 lb wheat Week 34: 2 cans tuna, 1 box salt Week 35: 1 10 lb powdered milk Week 36: 2 10 lb sugar Week 37: 4 cans tomato soup, 2 boxes salt Week 38: Stash $5 in the kitty Week 39: 1 100 lb wheat Week 40: 1 10 lb powdered milk Week 41: 3 10 lb sugar Week 42: 2 cans tomato soup, 1 10 lb sugar Week 43: 2 cans tomato soup, 2 cans mushroom soup Week 44: Stash $5 in the kitty Week 45: 1 10 lb powdered milk Week 46: 4 cans tomato soup, 4 cans mushroom soup Week 47: 1 10 lb powdered milk Week 48: 4 cans mushroom soup, 1 10 lb powdered milk Week 49: 7 cans of tomato soup Week 50: 7 cans of mushroom soup Week 51: 2 10 lbs sugar, 1 box salt
By the end of the 52 weeks, you should have: 700 lbs of wheat, 240 lbs sugar, 40 lbs of powdered milk, 13 lbs of salt, 10 lbs of honey, 5 lbs of peanut butter, 45 cans of tomato soup, 32 cans mushroom soup, 15 cans tuna fish, 10 macaroni and cheese dinners, 500 aspirin, and 730 multiple vitamins
They suggest adding:
6 lbs of dried yeast and 6 lbs of shortening and this should be enough to sustain 2 people for a year. For every 2 people you have in your family add $5 more and double or triple the amount of whatever you are buying that week. You can vary this list for your own needs as in substituting cans of chicken for tuna, tomato soup for tomato sauce etc. Remember this is an example and you can vary it for your own family needs or your area stores sales.

Why did you post 2 threads instead of just posting the second half on the same thread with the first, or just making a page?
It's kind of hard to follow what your point is this way.

You could call these folk;
London D I Y, 1103 London Road, Thornton Heath, Greater London CR7 6JJ, on 020 8764 7484 and ask if they still have any British army machetes (Martindale Golok number 2 patten) that were about 18 quid when I bought a handful of them as party favors a few years ago. Or check heavy duty gardening supplier for a double edged billhook which is also a pretty formidable 'sharp thing'.
The problem is not getting or owning these things but the false confidence they may impart in an 'event'. Lets face it, if you are some hardcore badass you are probably tooled up, know how to tool up or are super-badass and can do it all with your hands-feet-elbows-pinkey-etc. But if you are not badass then you've no business mixing it up and would be better to heed old Gandalf

Most people would go for canned food that is why you need to go for fresh food like fruits and vegetables and seeds what you also need is a lot of flour and beans nobody ever goes for flour and beans which is good because you will be able to get lot of flour and beans which will last longer than canned food if you put it in an air tight contaner.

This way of cooking will be invaluable in a fair few SHTF scenarios because it'll cover the smell from animals and the living and otherwise impared whilst cooking preventing detection.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but the Video section appears somewhat disorganized. There is no general pattern/order in the videos, just a heap of random videos on every page. I would suggest: 1) Adding categories to sort the videos 2) Adding a search feature for videos 3) Expanding the site search to include video results (it already includes threads, pages, and photos; but not videos)
Thoughts?
