Re: why?
Twenty five words or less - I don't think I have ever had an abundance of sentences of twenty five words or less, though I cannot match my verbose missing in action friend Ohfor07 who never said in 25 words what could be said in 250!
Hey, listen up here: when the teacher give an assignment, the student does not ask why. They have to read the book or chapters assigned and then come back to class to have a discussion in which both parties have knowledge and opinions to contribute. Otherwise, one may get a failing grade, or perhaps even a paddling - at least that was the norm back when I went to schools with the dirts floors and chalk blackboards. Seeing how you totally dodged the spanking issue on your birthday, the paddling may be in order anyway!
OK, OK - In the event of the four recommended sites, I get products, knowledge and entertainment from trusted sources and there is, imho, much that can relate to survivalism. If one takes a look to see, that is. Ahem. And the last site is from my and Luella's labor of love and includes articles from sources such as Mother Earth News (the original survivalist site for me) and Grit.
C'mon, try it. You'll like it.
