I think you have to consider that not everyone who reads and contributes to this and other prepping sites have the flexibility, time and location to do the meeting-up thing although some of the good words spread on these sites will have sunk in.
Brian I know and understand what you are saying and agree entirely, but what I found out all to often was people would say YES WE WILL COME TO RZ's MEETS etc, and I other others would organise them, book hotels etc up to a YEAR in advance, then as time drew nearer the excuses would start coming out, I used to weep in exasperation when people would say that a years notice was not enough time for them to arrange to come to a meeting. Others promise to come then dont, We had one lady from Wallsall whinging constantly for a meet someplace civilised so we organised one in Birmingham and she did not turn to " to far and not enough notice" 4 months notice she had and only one bus ride.
If people can not organise themselves in 3 6 or 9 months to attend an RZ how the heck do they expect to bug out with only one hours notice?
