Chuck before he was Chuck.

Spam. Lots of it.

Indeed. A white man whom believed in a religion. Outrageous.

Covid was / is a good example. Not sure if much of the darker side of things came from it but I only saw it from my viewpoint in the rural UK.

I agree with this - intelligence I think must include an element of creative application or else we would still be dealing with things in the same way. Before something becomes the new way of approaching problems there must be a conceptual element - concept of Zero , Algebra , A.I etc.

I was also think of the events that occurred in the support camps set up during Storm Katrina , Ferfals account of Argentina , Haiti etc - Yes during these events you can find the best come out of people in an altruistic manner but also some predatory agents also - as one may expect in any...

Whilst the romantic ( Idiot ) idealist in me wants to think that is a constant and how we can say how we all pulled together during the blitz etc I'm not sure if its true in ALL historic events. I think its a somewhat romanticised rose coloured glasses version to see the hopeful best in all...

Its not bad - gave me mild Stalker vibes.

Yes , sorry if i was unclear , but yes - my feeling and point exact - they are in someways ' frontier ' minded by their geographic location.

I actually meant what would you want those that identify themselves as Preppers to do.

That sounds like its workable for the rural idyll - not so sure if that was the more common scenario being depicted. In rural locations I think their is due to less population density less < looking for a word > friction??? When things go a little sideway? Of what support is typically in...

Thanks Toddy.

You misspelt 'Zealot' :)

I remember the good old days where if you mentioned you were into Bushcraft you'd be labelled as a wack job survivalist.

Any one have a source for sourcing micro green seeds please? Amazon seems to have quite a markup - looking for Brussel sprout seeds in bulk. Thanks.

Is bushcraft a middle class concern ?

If the crux of your points and generalisations is that prepping is a middle class concern - probably , I've no idea - we all worry or are concerned about different things and spend whatever our money ( relative ) and time on accordingly. Maybe you/she/me just have more exposure to the middle...

Well maybe not you - because , as I'm paraphrasing from some/many of your posts you are indeed old and wise.. :) Others? Not so sure - people do see to be surprised by much of stuff that they took as a given. You need to explain to me by your definition or meaning of this - apologies ...

But as a counter point to that - that is the more extreme end of prepping isn't it? Normal conventional life , walks in the park , Netflix and chill, Deliveroo = White WROL , End times , global cataclysm type event , < No free WiFi > = Black There are lots of drop off point of incremental...
