Can you guys not read!!??? Selling wasn't my only intention. I signed up to join the community as well. I've never been on a preppers forum before and from what you guys are saying, I guess you get a lot of people that just advertise. How would I know that!? I'm a beginner prepper. I've been building my BOB and can't buy new stuff until I sell those axe kits. I'm waiting to by a pair of ATACS-FG ACU pants. And I WAS.... going to ask eventually about types of flashlights to buy, but from the type of reception I got. I really don't care to join this community. I do see your side of things about the people just wanting to sell things, But there are people like me. People new to prepping that happen to have stuff to sell. I got those axe kits from work cause they had extra, so I posted it here. What am I suppose to join the community and not advertise the 2 kits that are sitting in my basement and are worthless to me, not only that.... They're preventing me from buying new gear.
The rules never said anything that I HAD to introduce myself. What would I have said? "Hi, I'm new to prepping". That's all there is right now. I wouldn't want to waste anybodies time with that. So even If i didn't post the Ad, I wouldn't have posted anything yet, I would've just read your guys posts. I'm new, I don't really know anything yet. So it's not like I can post advice.
So, I join a community and think I can post about my gear I don't want, and everyone is basically saying "get the **** out of here, your shit's junk, etc..."!! Well good luck finding new people. I'll look for another community to join, cause this one is rude, hostile, and ignorant.
