what's happening with prepping

i'm sure that if you go back to the founding of survivalism, that you would see ebbs in interest.i started in the summer of 2000, and of course at first i had the sense of urgency. i was in college and dirty poor living with my mother. i started with a couple 2L bottles refilled with water, and adding a shelf so we could have more canned goods (that shelf was 6" wide and 3 feet long (it got stacked but it was a humble beginning) i did buy three books when i had some (summer) income in 2002, and did what i could from there.Emergency food storage and survival handbook by Peggy LaytonThe complete disaster home preparation guide by Robert Roskindpreparedness handbook by Jack Spigarellihaving my own place and an actual income really helped my goals Crisis i found like minded people, some good, some bad, some life long friends and some more like family. i was on the backwoods home forum, that group split and the gulch was formed. but back in early 2005 i started hanging out with one of the big serious groups, the Alpha Rubicon folks. they were more advanced and took stuff seriously with fact based knowledge. many professions from all fields make it a great network of great minds. the zombie squad seemed to be the other group, and for some reason their seemed to be a rivalary. (some of their members former rubies had issue with the AR founder) II|RC. survival blog seems to still be going strong. but even AR had ups and downs with membership and with activity.it seems this place was very active until 2015 and seems like it's dropped off a little.i may not have my finger on the pulse of this place in whole, or even in what's going on over the net (my group was doing our own thing) but it seems there are a lot of people talking (blogs, vlogs, and pod casts) lots of people listening, but not much discussion.i think shows like doomsday preppers brought some interest, but made most of us look stupid and or dangerous, there were a handful of useful people on there, but then off shoots like doomsday bunkers and america unplugged. then of course the walking dead . . . but it feels like a massive lull in those out there.maybe most people just staying grey?maybe they are afraid to talk about it?some are active and hold networking classesthere are pros and cons to each extremeany thoughts of current situation of suvival?

or just run one strain in the house at a time.. that is what I finally did.. I only do the one kind of sour dough mother.. I do make others time to time and try them to see if I like them better and would then dry the main one for keeping just in case.. but I would never make the mistake of running more then one at time again..
