Prepping for many people is intertwined with day-to-day life, which is what anthropologists love to talk about. My hypothesis, basically, is that being a prepper in London means you see the world around you differently than others you'd come across on the street. When you're on the Tube, you may be considering emergency exit routes. While at work, you may be considering the quickest way home to your family if SHTF. Because you believe in being prepared for disaster scenarios, it can affect many small choices and thought processes as you move around the city.

I'd be happy to share the results here if people are interested.
Hopefully, preppers are thinking of all those things. Of course you don't want to get too paranoid. The most likely disasters are things that can happen any time, like illness, which there's not much you can do about, except try to stay healthy and not stress too much. For me, part of prepping is knowing that at least I tried to be prepared. A big chunk of the population don't even have any savings, and some of that is avoidable.

Yes I am interested.
