Why Are Preppers Hated So Much?

lol. I've been around for a long, long time.


the joke is on you.

Three days' supplies are NOT enough. . .

Finally, even the government has officially changed its tune.


"Assemble and maintain a disaster supplies kit with food, water, medications, fuel and personal items adequate for up to 2 weeks - the more the better." —Are You Ready: A Guide to Citizen Preparedness, 2002, FEMA page 91

"Additionally, you may want to consider having supplies for sheltering for up to two weeks." —Are You Ready: A Guide to Citizen Preparedness, 2004, FEMA page 32

"During periods of increased threat increase your disaster supplies to be adequate for up to two weeks. —Are You Ready: A Guide to Citizen Preparedness, 2004, FEMA page 166

How much plainer can it be said?


"Every Emergency Management official I've spoken with, both local and national, stated privately that three days supplies is not sufficient. I can understand their thinking. To tell people they need to prepare for longer looks like they're expecting trouble. They don't want people to panic, feel afraid. Understandable. But we are now dealing with bigger disasters, escalating terrorism and possibilities of a nuclear incident.
