Sounds like you need better neighbors. Mine have known me for decades, know I'm the ham radio operator, know I have information, and when power goes out because of storms, and I set up the field kitchen in the front yard, they bring their contributions.

I make a heck of a good stone soup.

Communities can survive better than individuals.

Yeah, sure I can survive dropped naked anywhere on the North America, but that kind of rough living really, really sucks. I've done the late 1800s mountain living for over a year, and I really like running water in the house. Heck, next year, I may just get hot running water.

LOL. Hot running water was too fancy down on Granny’s farm.
I like your attitude toward your neighbors. Reminds me of years gone by.

Now, I don’t talk about prepping, except on these threads, because I am just doing what I’ve always done, so what’s to talk about? If people know me, thay know I garden, and that I preserve some of the bounty.

I talk more about the high cost of food, the incredible shrinking packaging, and the best sales of the week at the local stores than I do prepping.

The message is there, if they read between the lines, I guess, but I’m not worried about it.
