Yep, I agree and have one too so understand what you're getting at. I keep mine stocked, charged and ready to go at all times, have go-bags and all so in only a short period of time, 45-60 minutes can be hooked up and on the road.

I think the friends aspect is something many fail to work on; maybe because people are afraid as being seen as a prepper...the TV show has a lot to answer for - depicting preppers as weirdos - but there's some solid benefits to finding some like-minded and safety conscious people to work with even if it's just for information...like with my insect/foraging post a little while ago.

By having self-reliance and disaster-preparation in mind a person is more inclined to look for hazards at home or in the workplace and general society and ways to mitigate them. I can't see that as a bad thing.

I think a lot of people are going to be in a world of hurt because they forgot what a true community feels like. Old time towns were an intricate balance of individuals who all had specific skills that worked together for the benefit of everyone. The problem over here is the fact that so many people have travel trailers and I think everyone would have the same idea, so actually moving it anywhere would be difficult. You'd be pretty much stranded.

You said it well about the breakdown of true community and I agree, it'll not go so well at some point.
