I tried searching this topic to see if a single thread or topic group exists but I couldn't find one.

Dear Moderators... I'm wondering if you might be able consider adding a separate category specifically for product/ equipment and gear reviews. There might be one specific under the applicable strings - say Self-reliance, Homesteading, firearms. Inside each might need general sub categories such as BOB, BOV, small appliance, hand tools, etc... It'd give folks a place to relate their personal experience with a specific product and/ or model and then pass our experiences on. In these tight times this might help others better know where and where not to spend their dollars.

ex. I bought tent brand ABC at BigBox for $XX. the first night camping in it a light storm came in and the tent fell apart and shredded in the wind - DO NOT BUY!... you get my point. Give us a way to pass on our experiences and help steer each other clear of junk or towards a great value yet have it in an easy to find spot. Let others know that $50 sleeping bag held up and worked better than your BIL's $400 ultra snob 5000 bag on your hunting trip? A "BOV" category might include specific vehicle model, components, modifications that were worth it or lost or cost you money.

If there is a central spot where I can find this, please point me towards it.

Thanks much

Since this forum is titled Preparedness/Survival Skills/BOBs/Kits/Gear, it seems to me this is the proper place for an equipment review.

I've been thinking about reviewing my solar-powered security light.

I think the site is divided into too many subcategories already, and I don't want to see further division.

Most likely, if you can't find something here already, what you want isn't going to be here after it gets it's own section.

Instead of a new catagory, about just making this thread a sticky?

Then all the reviews would be in one thread, with comments all mixed together. I would prefer a separate thread for each gear review.

There is a search function on this forum. There is a bunch of redundant threads on multiple subjects.
