This is an interesting question Amanda, and we come at it from opposite experiences. All my preps have been solo, with some involvement of friends/family.
The obvious advantage is that I can follow my own best thinking with no interference.
My holdings/preps can be small and effecient.
I don't waste energy dragging unwilling people because they are attached to me. I can cherry-pick prepping partners.
There is no-one to blame. I sort it out or I don't. Less confusion.
I'm not exhausted by care-giving children or other people who might act like children sometimes.
I make all the financial decisions and only have my own financial irrationalities to deal with.
If secrets need to be kept, being single makes that easy!
There's a short list for ya! Time to get to work. Thanks for starting and maintaining this thread, and happy holidays!
