Thank you guys for all the great Survival Topics we are discussing on these forums.

Thousands of people visit the website, read your posts, and come away richer in knowledge and abilities. Your contributions have made the world a better place.

The Survival Topics Community would like to offer you a heartfelt token of appreciation for helping others survive come what may - your insight and inventiveness never cease to amaze!

Take note of a bit of new text beneath your UserNames - For Example, "Survival FireSteel" or "FireSteel Tube Ranger", etc. These correspond to the FireSteels listed on these pages:

• FireSteel Rods
• FireSteel with Lanyard Holes
• FireSteel Tubes

To receive the FireSteel.com FireSteel that is listed underneath your forum UserName (and one of the new type scrapers), simply send off a quick note by snail mail to:

Include:

• The UserName you use on the Survial Topics forum
• Your mailing address (non US addresses are OK)
• Your email address (Experience has shown that many of the email addresses that members signed up with are no longer viable.)

If you already have all the FireSteels you need, give this FireSteel to a friend or someone less fortunate. It could very well save a life.

Whatever the text beneath your UserName - "Learning How to Use a FireSteel", Mini, Pup, Ranger, or any other, you are very much welcome to send a note!

Be a light in the darkness,

We honestly could not be the community we are with out Ron's generosity of his time and money to run the forums. Some folks dont realize how much background work it takes to run a website / forum / store... it can take a lot of personal time and the cost to run servers aint cheap.

Thanks Ron for what you do - only wish we could give back more :-)

I like the title thing! I'm sure all the people that contribute here would say that without your hard work, such a great site wouldn't exist. I haven't really seen many other survival sites, but I would bet that this is probably the best.

Thanks for all your hard work Ron! I hope this site is around for a long long time!

[JoeM]

Wow, many, many thanks Ron! I have been pretty new to these forums, but already learned a wealth of information, so thank you for allowing these forums to exist. I'm still amazed at the camaraderie of the people of this forum willing to share info and learn from others as well.

Note sent! It ended up being half a page o.O but that's okay, I write big, so it won't be a long read

Wow Ron. I'm truely impressed with the gift. What a generous offer. I too, am new to this and have visited quite a few other sites but have been left wanting. I find that this site is much more than just survival it's about family, it's about hunting, hiking, living off the land........I could go on and on.
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you thanks. My letter is in the mail.

Ron,
Thank you for your generosity and your big heart also. I know that you have a large load on your shoulders and you do it under a caring heart. I would like to thank you for what I think is the greatest website on the web, and for introducing me to such wonderful people. I think that everyone here is the greatest, and they are always willing to help.
If there is ever anything that I can do for you, please let me know and I will try my best to do it for you.
