Just adding to the chorus saying they’d buy a kit and/or book. For branding, play on your introduction for PGG: Portuguese Guy Gaming. Either way though, you definitely should write more posts if it’s something you’d be interested in, you definitely have an excited and willing audience.

This is so badass! Not only are you a good hacker, but your writing was a pleasure to read. I wish that I could upvote this more than once.

It’s about anxiety management, not real preparedness. As far as I can tell, the majority of “preppers” achieve very little other than making themselves feel as though they’ve gained some control over an inherently unpredictable and uncontrollable world. A minority of preppers who form heavily armed communities and dedicate most of their lives to it do probably have an edge, but luck will still play an enormous factor and they’re sacrificing their lives today for an uncertain future.

My favorite though are the billionaires who think that they wouldn’t be the first against the wall if civilization collapsed, and really believe their holes in New Zealand will be more than their graves. Still, if it makes people feel better and they’re unable or unwilling to address the roots of their fear and anxiety, it’s pretty harmless in most cases.
