Confronting Liberals with the facts of reality is very much akin to clubbing baby seals. It gets boring after a while, but because Liberals are so stupid it is easy work." Steven M. Barry

I got a ton of email. Thanks to all.

I started coming here in 1995 but dropped out around Y2K. There was 500-800 posts a day then. I've always liked the posts like "boiling the tannic acid out of acorns to make them edible" or "clarifying butter for longer storage" and threads like that. The biggest reason I left was threads like "Which gun is better", "MRE's suck" or "What's the best things to have in a bug-out bag". And the biggest reason was the political threads. Heck, any sane person knows that Liberal/Leftist people are morons! ;-)

I wrote the Metallurgical FAQ to impart the basic knowledge to use metallurgy for TEOTWAWKI. IE, where to find certain grades of steel and how to heat treat them. Knowing what happens to steel when you heat it and cool it at different rates will allow you to make knives and other tools.

(Oh yeah, the "which knife is better" thread! OY!)

Thanks everyone for the kudos. I've had the same email address for 12 years. I'm not going anywhere. :-)

Welcome back!

Thank you for the metalurgy writeup. I read part of it, yesterday, and quickly concluded it's a keeper, worthy of some serious study. I'll be printing it out for future reference and study.

Best regards,
