And then they stock up on weapons to kill other survivors that will come and steal their stash. So if you think about it logically. All the prepress will survive the doom and then kill one another. So we hate you cause you are fu...kn dumb [/quote] This from someone that lives in the horror that is South Africa? I wouldn't dare to go there unless I was heavily armed. AC, hope you enjoy starving to death in the dark. I personally thing people like this idiot AC instinctively know what's coming. They are choosing to live in a dreamworld and feel jealous towards those who are able to face reality. [/quote]

Have you noticed that it has become trendy to bash preppers? For a long time the prepper movement was ignored, but now it has become so large that it is getting very difficult for the mainstream media to pretend that it is not there.
In fact, it has been estimated that there are now approximately 3 million preppers in the United States alone.
So now the mainstream media has decided that mocking the movement is the best strategy, and lots of “critics” and “skeptics” out there have picked up on this trend.
Instead of addressing the very real issues that have caused millions of Americans to prepare for the worst,
those criticizing the prepper movement attempt to put the focus on individual personalities. They try to find the strangest nutjobs they possibly can and then hold them up as “typical preppers”.
The goal is to portray preppers as tinfoil hat wearing freaks that need to be locked up in the loony bin for their own personal safety and for the good of society. The criticism of preppers has really ramped up in recent months, and it will likely get even worse in 2013.
The establishment does not like any movement that is outside of their control, and the prepper movement is definitely not under their control.
