I think the Matrix series had a good point about this. They don't wake people up beyond a certain age, as they have difficultuy readjusting to the idea that their entire life has just gone; they are much more comfortable refusing to face the truth.
This makes me worry about my family, as most will not see the stimulus for prepping until it is too late.
i'm past "that certain age" but I can see the point of prepping.
I'm not certain that age has a whole lot to do with a "prepper" mindset. Eight years ago we got hit with a hurricane (Cat. 2 when it passed over us) and that made true believers out of a whole lot of deniers of all ages, races, creeds, colors, and backgrounds.
On the other hand, for those who are still not convinced, as the saying goes, "you just can't fix 'stupid'"!

What a superb attitude towards your preps, I'm both jelous and impressed Mr SS, inspirational Sir, inspirational.
I also think that preping gives us a feel good factor too, I almost treat it as a hobby, something we enjoy,... never forgetting that their is a serious side to it as well of course
