MSB Open Forum

Sometimes a good conversation does not fit the subject of a particular MSB article. That is what this Open Forum is for. Ask a question, share something you’ve learned, bring up a preparedness topic, or simply join an ongoing conversation.

Starting a New Discussion

If you want to bring up a new subject, start a new top-level comment by placing a short topic subject on the first line, which will appear bold, making topics easier to scan.

Open Forum Archives

As an Open Forum grows, I may eventually close it to new comments and open a fresh one. The old discussions will remain available so readers can go back and read previous conversations. Links to previous Open Forums will appear here as the community grows.

A Few Simple Ground Rules

Keep the conversation civil and respectful, even when people disagree.

Preparedness, self-reliance, practical experience, questions, ideas, and related current events are all welcome.

Try not to turn disagreements into personal arguments. Political discussion may occasionally be relevant to preparedness, but this is not intended to become a political debate forum.

Spam, excessive self-promotion, personal attacks, and deliberately disruptive comments may be removed.

In short, use common sense and treat other people the way you would want to be treated.
