Like most people, i used to think the doomsday preppers were conspiracy theory nutjobs and paranoid nerds. But, looking at what's happening in the world, i'm no longer 100% convinced that they are totally wrong.
I've been looking into a bit recently and it does make you think - everything from it might be useful finally learning some first aid and having a stock of medical supplies to considering becoming a bit more self-sufficient.
As SF is (fairly) anonymous, i wondered if there were any forummers who are preppers, whether it be casual or taking it more seriously. Would be interesting to get some insight and discuss a few things.
I want this to be a semi-serious thread i.e. no ridicule - i'm not trying to quell free speech, i just don't want it to descend into insults from those who think it's daft. I have a genuine curiosity and the only way to gain knowledge of it is to discuss it properly.
