More preppers out there than we thought

[NorthernRaider]

SS agree with you, I'm also more optimistic about our chances these days since we have seen so much erm? interaction or integration or cross sharing of skills, interests and practices from preppers, off gridders, homesteaders, allotmenteers, small holders and the huge resurgence in people learning the old traditional skills. I still think a collapse is likely but I think we are slowly but surely becoming more resiliant and not before time. EG a couple of our colleges are now running vocational and leisure courses in stuff like blacksmithing, candle making, leatherwork, weaving, knitting, traditional carpentry etc and the growing numbers of people going more semi self sufficient is a welcome boost.
