Preparing for what?

[Scythe13]

That's a good point well made Mike.

One thing that does cause issue is that many survivalists see technology as bad. I understand that view, but I also see the good side of it. I think many people look at that and think survivalists are primitive...which we are. But we are only that way when training or learning new skills.

I work as a business development manager, I like to build eco-homes and learn about 'old fashioned' technology and putting it into modern life (e.g. rocket stoves were originally used by the Chinese to heat beds and provide general under floor heating, and put that into a geodesic dome home which need 30% less energy to produce the same temperature as a conventional 'box' home). It's a survivalist/prepper thing, but people don't seem to see that side of us.

But if prepping was too mainstream, would burglaries increase in number? The price of food and the alike is increasing massively, soon some people will not be able to afford to eat properly. They will look for food elsewhere. People would know many homes held food due to the popularity of survivalism/prepping. Would that cause more burlgalires?
