Yeah I saw that. Brilliant article actually sells having more than just today's food on hand, and does it really well

A well balanced read. Right now I'm in that category of sliding. Simply because I'm run flat out with life at the moment, now doing 8/6 roster 97.5hrs over 8 days then on my off days spending every day making orders for my business and on top of that doing committee work tends to lead me exhausted and stretched thin(I wish literally rather then figuratively) and on top of that my body starting to age of that of a 70yo as my doctor says on me at such a young age (mid 30's)

Agree, it's a good read and a positive article which makes a welcome change from the usual media coverage.

But complacency about risks doesn't make those risks disappear. As my prepping friend says, "Preppers are labelled as crazy folk who waste their time and money preparing for outcomes that may never unfold. "The reality is, those who do prepare are in a great position to help themselves and others for life's unexpected moments."
Great ending to a pretty good article.

Snip
"Dr Simon Henry, whose PhD investigated Australian preppers, says the subculture is a broad church.
"Australian survivalists are not Christian fundamentalists, right-wing nationalists, racist extremists or part of a contemporary militia movement," he says.
"They are certainly not reflective of those colourful individuals seen in scripted and heavily edited American reality TV."
My favourite part above. Another deposit into the Prepper Bank of Goodwill by our friend Dr Henry.

I must say, I was pretty impressed with the journalist's research approach and commitment on that one. There really is a noticeable chain of positive reporting on Australian Survivalism in recent months. Sshhhh, is that the sound of old attitudes changing? Kindest regards, SH.

I reckon those gardens will survive about a day after the supermarkets empty.
