Hey Fellas, since I know that most people don't browse around on the "Request A Forum" forum, I just wanted to let you know that I added a request and could sure use some votes.  It is for a new "Survival" forum.

If I may so humbly submit this addy.

http://www.oldjimbo.com/survival/index.html

Take the info herein for what it's worth.

I feel that GB's Contributors are of like mind and could support a forum of this ilk.

Not sure if this is covered in another forum but survival and bug-out topics are widely discussed on the web. Perhaps it is time for Graybeard to host such a forum.

Survivalist topics to include first aid, food preservation,water supplies and weapons etc.

This might be a topic already on GB but I'm not sure. Let's get it going if not.

Thanks for those links!  If GB decides to add the forum (looks about 50/50 on the poll right now), I'll put all those links in there in a sticky so we can have a permanent "links" post.

:D Sounds like a great idea.  Survival covers so many different areas, something as simple as educating a traveler that they need to include some food, water,  a blanket or two, flashlight, first aid kit when traveling, especially during winter months.

I got caught in a snow storm in New Mexico several years ago.  I was prepared, but a family that was stranded was not.  I had a cab over camper on my pick up, it had heat and was stocked with food.  It was crowded, but the man and wife and their four children survived because I invited them in.  This family had left their home in Albuquerque and was traveling to El Paso, TX.  It was mid December, a couple of the children only had light sweaters.  Who knows what may have happen to them had I not been there.

I enjoy, and get some good thought from survival talks, if we can not get off into some of the far sides of this topics. I laugh at this thought as I cannot see most subjects not subjected to extreme opinion.

The more I think about this, the more surprised I am that GBO doesnt already have this forum. Long over due.

Only 5 yes votes away from the magical 12 needed. Please go vote :-)

Just checked and there are 8 "yes" and 3 "no."  I sure hope we get more "yes."  I've been collecting more links, and stuff.  I am also leaning a great deal about first aid kits.  *smiles*

BamBams...

I just voted "Do it!"... and there's 19 "yes" votes now... so it looks as if your new forum is a "GO"!    :-)

Obviously when you voted you didn't also drop down and read the posts. The forum has been up and running some while now. More votes for a forum already running don't help. Using it might help to keep it tho.  :eek:

The interest is there!  As for me, I'll be posting some topics there this weekend.  It's only been open a couple days now, and even though the posts are few at present, the quality runs high!  *smiles*

Bill (Graybeard)...

You're right.  I didn't drop down and read the posts.  :oops:  

In truth, I felt I was doing BamBams a "favor" in voting for the forum he wanted so much.  I have only a mild interest in the subject, but now that I know it's open, I'll have to check it out.   :-)

Thanx for your post... it has caused me to investigate BamBams favorite forum... and maybe a new "favorite" forum here!     :wink:

Awwww  shucks!   Thanks for helping!   I really don't have a "favorite" though.  I bounce all over the place, and try to spend the most time in the forum(s) that I help moderate.  Lately, I've been going to the bible study forums quite a bit.
