OPSEC:and the dangers of people you thought were like minded.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

No real surprise there. Sounds like he was doing the right thing by finding out now rather than later.

RE: OPSEC:and the dangers of people you thought were like minded.
I am now very cautious what i say of late...i did try to tell some friends BUT got a strange look ....you know the normal stuff..so now i say sweet FA ...even if they approach me directly...this site has changed my view...for the better ...hardened up a fair bit ...due to the opinions of people here, that makes more an more sense good post BP we need constant reminders ....no bad thing at all....its hard enough with close family i can tell you.

RE: OPSEC:and the dangers of people you thought were like minded.
I must admit that I tried to talk to people in a suttle way about prepping, the plan was that if I got a favorable response I would tell them that we were preppers,... as it happen I didn't get the right re ponce,..so know one knows about us,... I don't talk to people now
If I lived further south where the population is bigger, I would try and find groups from prepper sites,.. but I think that the days of trying to winkle ideas and suggestions into people, including friends is over
The problem is,.. those who have not prepped, even friends, will turn against you when their need is at its greatest
A major part of survival is invisibility.

RE: OPSEC:and the dangers of people you thought were like minded.
I've not said anything to anybody and at the moment it's not going to change at the moment
may try at a later date once we get a bit more sorted
but we will be picking the questions very carefully

RE: OPSEC:and the dangers of people you thought were like minded.
Just read the article (definitely something to be aware of, though I think of less concern in the UK) when I realised the radio was playing Black Sabbath's Paranoid. Do you think the prepping gods are trying to tell me something.
they laugh at us because we're different, we laugh at them because they're all the same

RE: OPSEC:and the dangers of people you thought were like minded.
I suppose in this modern consumer society it makes sense to just go and take what's already there instead of doing the hard work and preparing and learning .Luckily i'm not sharing my thought's with the sheeple.And never underestimate the importance of being a good shot
