How do you see prepping developing?

Thats just the way I feel too,.. it doesn't matter to me.

...we talk about `sheeple` as if they are a separate breed, yet most of us were one at one point in our lives,..so if a village of 20 guys decide to become prepers because its the `in thing`,... how do we know that those 20 guys dont become `real` preppers

It would be normal to see increased numbers of prepers as the world/country situation worsens anyway

Of course the other way to look at it is that most fads are short lived.

Serious preppers keep what they do to themselves or within their groups, while all around us other play at prepping, no-one will ever know just how many serious preppers are out there until such time as something happens

The only thing we will have to watch out for is that if we get an increase of wanabe preppers that the government doesn't think along the same lines as the US

Yup, very close to how I feel. We all have freedom of choice and there's enough information out there to give obvious and strong indications that all is not well. It's inevitable that sooner or later something will break, whether it's natural or, more likely, man made, the system as it stands is too fragile. The only question is, which SHTF scenario will it be? And, are we are ready for it?

So, I reckon prepping will develop more and more the closer any disaster looms. I personally hope that small like minded communities develop so they can assist and help each other but I'm afraid that, in reality, it'll be panic and a case of the strongest taking advantage of the weakest first. Such appears to be Human Nature at it's worse. At it's best, people will come together, learn mucho lessons and create a much better way of life.

Or am I dreaming?
