After spending some time here on the site I have got the feeling that there are some subjects are not allowed to question. One of the most obvious is Man-Made Global Warming, a threat that very few seem to believe exists. I feel that there is an increasing amount of people how prepare for crisis and disaster how prepare because of threats like a combination of Global Warming, Peak Oil and the depletion of natural resources. Movies like Michael Rupperts “Collapse”, “Home”, A Crude Awaking” and “The End of Suburbia” is probably some of the influence. Scholars from universities like Jared Diamond author of “Collapse How societies choose to succeed or fail” and Joseph Tainter author of “The Collapse of Complex Societies” are two examples of people how also seem to have a great influence. Neil Strauss the author of the famous book “The Game” has also written about how he became a prepper/survivalist in the book “Emergency”. My point is that we seem to have allot of new people how are opening up their eyes to threats that does not fall into the threats that normally motivates survivalists. There also seem to more people from different political views how engage in survivalism/prepping.
I often get the impression that we have a very hard time seriously debating these issues instead of trying to learn from each other. What new trends do you observe in survivalism/prepping? And can we all get along even if we don’t share the same political and religious views?
