Keeping Secrets

[Mortblanc]

Exactly what I was considering with the OP.

We often get smug and think that we are smarter than anyone we meet because we are preppers and they are "sheeple" when that is an illusion.

When we get into real preps that require modifications and special structures, and must seek outside help, many of those craftsmen know exactly what we are doing even if they do not see the two cans of beans hidden under the baseboard.

Our very secretiveness and insistence on "gray man" procedures is also a dead giveaway. The entire world is filled with flowers and you are a standing weed among them.
