sucks to be a doomsday prepper

i wanna know how much money was pissed away on the supplies and bunkers

Yeah.. "bet you all feel dumb now... being beyond prepared for most disaster scenarios.. ur all gonna feel real stupid whenyour thriving in a chaotic environment while the less prepared perish."

We don't prep based on conspiracy theories (at least personally) we prep because its the responsible thing to do. We all KNOW that catastrophic natural disasters are inevitable but noone can say when. I'd see myself as no measure of a man or father if I ignored facts and failed to do all I could to ensure my families well-being and survival in such a time.
But what do I know. I'm just a dumbass prepper.

I'm not saying everyone should build a hunker and stock up 40 years of food. I don't like all the conspiracy theories. And BS. But in the event of a massive earthquake, flood, tornado, war etc.. all of which are either brewing or overdue. We are prepared for it.
I see no harm in doing all I can to ensure my families survival.

I wonder if those who ignore the inevitable will be smiling with bliss when we wont open the bunkers to let them in...

Most "doomsday preppers" are not thinking 12/21/2012 will be the end of the world. They are prepping for more realistic ends of the world, or catastrophic disruptions in life as we know it. Solar flares knocking our electricity forever, electromagnetic pulses, chemical or biological attacks, pandemic illnesses, massive natural disasters that we cannot recover from, etc., are some very real threats. They are "prepping" to take care of themselves when no one else will. One needs to look no further than Katrina to see how quickly shit can get bad. I myself, will fight to the end, but am "prepared" to die. We all have to die, and no amount of prepping can save you from that, just prolong the hell. Who wants to live in a world where everyone is suspect and you have to sleep with one eye open, while busting your ass every day for the things we take for granted now? I hope some loon snipes me. I'll never even know what hit me.


WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones

My prepping makes me money. Farming/gardening for yourself is never a bad idea.

Particularly in the event of an economic collapse, when growing can be utilized to create your own economy.

What's prepping if U don't mind me asking?.

Ominous but scarily accurate assessment lol. I'm not too worried about the others.. were pretty far out so I don't think civil chaos would reach us out here for some time but in such a case we are more than beyond prepared for the long run. Herbologist doctors engineers contractors gunsmith retired seals explosives experts bug out vehicles bags 4 seperate bunkers with 5 years food for 12 people... very cramped living qaurters to say the least but sustainable. We've been at this 13 years and between the whole.group we've gotten be scraping 1.2 mil total investment. But we have a trusted reliable network and a very well rehearsed plan if things were to go south. The idea is to have it and never need it.

I don't go out and buy a gun because intent to shoot a person. I buy a gun in case someone decides to directly threaten my well-being. I hope to never have to fire on anything but a target but I am more than prepared and willing to do so if that the option I'm left with believe that.

Prepping for me is just living life. I farm and garden and have the know-how to take care of myself and my family incase things got shitty.

being prepared for a natural or man made disaster.

buying excessive gas, food, guns, and building or improving your shelter to withstand possible events.

Woke up this morning like most others, except I slept in. Just in case though, I made a nice breakfast last night.

Let me get this straight: sticking your penis in someone without their consent is off limits, but firing lead bullets into other, weaker peoples bodies in order to loot them is fair play. Makes perfect sense!

It sure does. Murder is over quickly. Rape lasts forever. The best part? In that hypothetical situation of end times shit and you were staring, you'd do the same. Hell the only thing stopping me from killing people now is jail.

sometimes me and my friends get drunk we sit around and talk about realistic ways to loot the preppers. plan A seems to involve crude IEDs to create a diversion and a few ways in, and molotov cocktails to block off additional exits, force 'em to retreat to a specific spot and pick 'em off guerrilla style while the others take their shit. i have this one friend who watches that prepper show just to take notes on prepper weaknesses. actual. notes. there was one episode where some dude moved his whole family to some spot in rural tennessee that was statistically the safest spot in america for a bunch of reasons. my friend did some heavy duty detective work and believes he knows exactly where that dude moved to, and due to the show and google earth, he was able to make a rough diagram and an "attack plan". he also talks about hacking certain systems to get purchase records to identify preppers because almost no one buys all that shit in cash, and triangulating their location if they were "stupid enough" to provide their cell phone number on the invoices. i'm 99% sure he's only doing this for fun, but if he was able to put that together, so are a lot of other people with way better hacking skills than he has.

moral of the story: never underestimate large groups of lazy hungry people who want to take your shit, and don't go on national television and spell our your game plan.

I laugh my ass off at some of those people. Like the girl in Houston, who thinks she's going to run out of town to a stashed car..... Then there some others who made their safe room underground. I'm thinking, drown them out. I think it is good to be prepared, but you have to be realistic. When you stay still, you're a target. Without a very large, well stocked, group, you're pretty much stashing goods for your killers.

Out of all this talk no one said damn I wish there would of been some zombies to go all shaun of the dead on them . That's what I was looking to do ha
