Best preppin' tip. Don't announce it.

[SooBee]

I found that if I opened up and said I had been a Guider, several ladies would mention that they had been too. It is definitely a good opening gambit and after a conversation or two, the real prepping types come out of the woodwork and own up to being capable and responsible folks that I would like to know. The term "Prepping" usually results in a sideways glance and crablike moves in the opposite direction.

A rose by any other name is still a rose...

I like the post about wearing clothes too bit so you look like your losing weight
We dont tell people around us. we keep our prepper ways hidden. i dont want to be the first ones raided.
I have been a prepper for many years (Didnt know that what it was called though) i was just preparing for times of hardship as i had a family to support.
I was laughed at and since then i have been an undercover prepper. My partner found it a little strange to begin with but now its just seen as one of my quirks. I am lucky enough to be supported by my family even though sometimes they look at me like im off my trolly they all pitch in and help. My kids Have seen me this way all thier lives so its just Mum to them.

That really tickles me sorry, it may work for a lucky few who are close enough and get on well enough, there was a time not so long ago right here in this country when preparedness for certain seasonal sure fire events and many eventualities was normal, so it must be again, unless we solve the energy crisis, we need to localize to cope with sensible distances for produce to travel, and to re- establish some sense of community on local levels throughout the country, the problem is that's not easy when it's a case of everyone screwing and blaming everyone else, from the top down, well especially from the top

I was thinking about this who would you have with you and to be honest i can only think of one other prepper family i know and we do get on well, now he claims he is "not a prepper" but he as a very pretty looking licensed shotgun with stored ammo, a landy with all the toys, always has 1-3 months of food in garage at a time. Denial much? but yes i think them and us with my bushcraft n stocks and with him like me also being ex military its a winner.

It's good advice to keep your prepping quiet, but there is the problem that you can't prep for everything. This means you need other people who also prep, perhaps not for the same thing or in the same way. Finding these people is a real challenge though.

Which is why building relationships with like minded people, such those on here, is key. It takes time to do that, by chatting and then meeting face to face.
