After finally seeing the light I have started prepping in earnest, I have not mentioned this to any of my friends or family for fear of being ridiculed, I happened to mention that I watch the tv program doomsday preppers just to see how they felt about the whole thing, and sure enough they ridiculed the whole idea.

But to me, prepping stealthily is the best way forward anyway, because when the S does hit the fan, all the unprepped would surely be knocking down your door if they knew you had a supply of food, water etc.
