I started young, age 13 during the Cuban Missile Crisis! I started stockpiling knowledge and gear and have never stopped.

I agree with Pete, we just talk about it more.

We also get on internet forums of this nature more often. If you get involved with the Yahoo and Facebook networks there are serious groups of young "preppers" communicating there. They just do so as a running conversation with instant text message replies using their phones as the mechanical medium.

While we old codgers cling to our flip phones, walkie-talkies, CB radios and land lines the young folks are using Android devices to talk survival while in the car, at the office or in the woods and they are sourcing the devices as primary survival tools.

All of the internet message board forums such as this one have nearly died. There used to be dozens of active forums with thousands of members, and now there are only a handful due to the shift in media useage, not the lack of communicators.
