My point is I have contributed to these threads, which I thought were survival threads.
In my mind, that would be info on home gardening, makeshift home repair, hunting for generally is considered non-game type stuff, alternative energy approaches, that sort of thing.
Some of that stuff is here - but I don’t need to wade through six thousand recipes to find it. I, and others, most others I would imagine, simply don’t have the time.

DJF, I’ve seen you on the threads consistently so I know you’re thinking of what’s best for everyone.
I appreciate what you’re saying, it’s worth thinking about.
Granny’s the thread queen so I will let her decide what to do. It might be worth trying.
Granny, what do you think?
You may have noticed that we have an archivist who is putting together the postings so they can be searched - I would suggest downloading those files - the problem as I see it now is that we are gathering way too much info for individual file searches.
I think the solution to your and our problem is going to be for our archivist to save those files as PDF files. That way they can be put on a CD or saved on a thumb drive. When you open the PDF you can search not only that file, but all files in the thread for your word or phrase. I would even be willing to put the pdf’s online for easy permanent download. Hope that solution would help.
I have the Jackie Clay Anthology from Backwoods Home Magazine, they are all pdf files - I have it on a CD and have copied it to a thumb drive so I can take it easily to just about any computer I need to read it on. I think it works great. Would be interested in your thoughts.
