That's interesting, SD, and I don't disagree - but in a way that really clarifies the question. Which is more important - our principles, or our survival?
Like you, I'm a rebel, as I suspect most of the members are. But is it a good idea to let ourselves be SEEN as rebels? I don't like doing circus tricks either, but if blending in makes it safer to live undetected as a prepper, then I'll clap like any seal while dancing up and down on a stripey beach ball.
For me, survival and secrecy go very closely together. If the SHTF really does happen, I think it'll be safer to be that nice but dull woman who'll help out if she can (but mostly can't), than to be the oddball who keeps herself to herself and is hiding goodness know what stores inside her secretive walls.
I suspect this makes you a better person than I am!
