A survivalist or "prepper" is an individual or group that prepares or makes preparations in advance of, or prior to, any change in normal circumstances or lifestyle without significant reliance on other persons (i.e., being self-sufficient), or without substantial assistance from outside resources (e.g. government) in order to minimize the effects of that change on their current lifestyle.[1]
Preppers call themselves "modern-day survivalists" or "neo-survivalists"[2] try to distance themselves from the "crazy gun nut" stereotype "survivalist". Like survivalists, many do not identify themselves as doomers or follow the 2012 phenomenon.[3]
Survivalists have many different mindsets and cover a broad spectrum of survival and preparedness interests. Some prepare for economic disaster or to escape genetically modified foods through organic farming or urban gardening. Some may prepare for the possibility of a complete breakdown of society while others store up extra food and water for a more localized disaster. In addition to natural disasters, terrorist attacks, as well as other crises, preppers also prepare for personal disasters and economic hardships, such as unemployment or the loss of a loved one.[4]
So in real terms if Katrina hit or 9/11 hit here, you would be ready & could survive on your own without the help of the guberment.

 

untill i buy saltwater stuff, lol.

 

I'm not a prepper, I'm an Eagle Scout. I'm always prepared, and I have a number of survival tools at my disposal, as well as plans for more sustainable household so that I might maintain my creature comforts even well into the zombie apocalypse! lol

 

You know I gotta say: as a biologist, I really despise the hipster gihad on GMO's. If you think that genetically modified organisims are the same thing as chemically modified foodstuffs (cough..cough.....corn syrup), then you have a fundamentally flawed understanding of the composition of matter.

 

dam andy im a eagle scout to, lol.

 

Bronze Palms buddy! Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle!

 

+1 for being an eagle scout, me too! 158 out of CF

 

Interesting. I wouldn't call myself a prepper, but I try to plan ahead for likely events do my best to be prepared for the rest. I'm an eagle scout too.

 

I thought a Prepper got the porn star 'ready' for filming.

I think that's a "fluffer", I could be wrong.  I would google it but I'm in class ATM and who knows what would come up.  /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/tongue.gif

 

Thank you Jim.  When I saw this thread I was actually thinking Craig was going in a totally different direction.  I am now comforted in knowing I was not the only one.

 

I have jumper cables in my truck, my wife likes to leave her headlights on.

 

We have a generator

 

I saw a feature on Nat Geo about a family that had become almost entirely self-sufficient. They had a pond in their back yard full of tilapia. They raised tilapia fry in tanks in their house. The fish water was used to fertilize a hydroponic garden. The house was solar powered and everything was recycled. The only thing that I wonder about is that they eat tilapia all the time, like every meal, and while the husband is gung ho for this setup, I wonder if his wife and kids sneak out for a cheeseburger now and then /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif
