I like to think that these people are new to prepping and thus don't feel confident to speak. That is what these sites are for. To help those who are new and just getting started.

Going by my own experience of life over the years, it seems that many people are lurkers in general,.....if this forum were a weekly meet up in a village hall, how many folk would actually turn up/participate, even if the UK were the size of the Isle of Man for example, so taking away the distance/travel aspect.

I think that it's certainly become worse since the whole internet thing, back in the 80's you had to go out, join clubs etc to meet people and learn things, there were no other option.

An acquaintance of mine is trying to start a motorcyle hub in my area, a place where us bikers can meet up basically, he did have maybe 60 to 100 people turn up on the initial proposal day but not many seem to be committed to the cause shall we say.
He'd found a hut/piece of land to rent, it's reasonable price wise but without a bit of support from the members, I'm not sure that it will happen, sadly.

Just one example of my observations/experience of people in general.
