Thank y'all so much! WOW! When I saw "Hello from SA" I immediately thought San Antonio. It's great that folks from other countries are prepping as well.
We have family in Georgia, but they are all on base at Ft. Benning.
It seems as though Prepping in the US is starting to transition from the stereotype of crazy survivalist, as more and more people wake up. I attribute much of that (right or wrong) to our current political climate. Is that what the others in the US have been seeing?
And for those outside the US, what have y'all been seeing in your own countries?
Finland has also been touched by firearms related tragedy, but I understand there isn't as much of a call for complete bans. And as part of the EU, wondering if Brexit has caused a stir at all? I think the US has independence so deeply ingrained in our history, and our psyche that the thought of giving it up to another power is beyond unappealing. It seems as though with the smaller population, bug-out-land would be easier to find, but the climate is much harsher. Although I think I remember reading that the population was heavily folks of Finnish descent, so maybe some good skillsets passed down.
And South Africa, my goodness, we probably seem like whiners compared to the violence and unemployment experienced in South Africa. It is so beautiful, but I think that level of unrest is exactly what people in the US want to avoid. Do you think that people have become desensitized to it? Do you think it has made them more likely to take a prepping stance?
Hope y'all are having a great week!
