I am kind of a prepper I guess. My full time home would be considered a bug out location to most preppers and I do have lots of ammo stocked up. I keep enough gas, propane oil etc to run my home for 6 months at least. I have food stores to last probably a year and I have a plan to divert a stream down the road to my land that would wash it out in short order. I'm not all about being a prepper all the time but it just makes sense to me to have enough resources to take care of yourself for a year or so if s*** hits fan. Anyone else in here consider themselves a prepper of any degree?
If I was convinced that blacks are waging a race war (which is being covered up by the media), I suppose I'd be a prepper too.
Fortunately, I suffer from no such delusions.
What about grid failure or a biological outbreak that sets mankind back a few centuries among the many other possibilities?
We've got millions who have no extra supplies of anything that would do whatever they needed to do to survive. It could get out of hand in a matter. of days.
Yeap we've got two military trained SILs and one daughter. My Wife and I are avid hunters. It's all a matter of getting everyone in the right place.I'm good with guns and natural farming. I have extensive experience in combat tactics and the production of food on very limited resources. I have close contacts throughout the world. I'm a rather strapping example of quality DNA. My intellectualism is without question. If the crap hits the fan, I will be the most valued commodity. I'm the guy you give the gun to and ask, "how do we survive".
I think it could be a neat hobby... I don't really think i'm a prepper though I do have a backpack full of supplys just in case there is a natural disasterpeople think i'm silly for it but I don't want to be scrambling around in case I need to get the fudge out and only have time to grab one thing
Honestly, I like having a nice life and it's a reason to live. If society went to **** and there is little to no comfort in this life, why would I want to prolong my existence?
Didn't you mention having a GF and some children.? There's your reason.
I won't say what we have but, we can eat for several months, drink for a couple of months and put the hurt on anyone who tries to take what we have for an unspecified length of time. 8)
I wish I was related to Sawyer.

Hey! do you guys have a water purifer? I saw one that looked really need at this store called sportsman it's basically a water bottle with a filter to clean all the nastys when you get water from a stream or lake... it's a little spendy do you think it's worth it?
It could just be a short term situation. It doesn't have to be the apocalypse.

... Even in 3rd world countries like India, a grid failure can be repaired in about 2 days to a week.

“If you have to order a transformer from someplace, it’s two years to do it,” said Richard J. Lordan, a senior technical expert at the Electric Power Research Institute, a nonprofit consortium based in Palo Alto, Calif.
If I go without my anti anxiety meds for any significant length of time it won't be pretty for me or those around me. Maybe one day I will fully heal from my childhood but lately I have been having flashbacks again.
Let's just hope that society either keeps humming along or if not I either die a quick death or I am fortunate enough to find a stable environment with the right drugs in supply.
