After nothing happens and you come out of your bunkers, will all you Preppers feel foolish at wasting all that money preparing for nothing lol

gotta give them credit for adventure-waiting spirit though

non-preppers are boring civilization dorks

The good news is that more people are now better prepared for unexpected events.
Peace,all.

They still have minor level doom to prepare for. Like Sandy doom, or earthquake doom.

Religitards have been throwing away billions for centuries for nothing.

No most preppers Prepare for situations and most that i know are not prepping for the 21st. Plus Prepping is like insurance for bad times. you buy car insurance and hope you dont wreck your car, you buy house insurance and hope your house dont burn down, you buy Life insurance and hope you dont die so having a little extra dosnt hurt at all.

most preppers arent prepping for 12/21 moran

Sounds like good reasoning to have a "job" lol

There are many reasons to have a job....Prepping works for that also if a prepper looses his or her job they will have the supplies to eat and feed there families while looking for New JOB. southern boys will survive...

I think it would be fun to run out and weld all their shelter doors shut.

Prepping is betting on yourself, not society. You have(or should have) complete control of yourself, yet you have next to zero effect on society at large. By being prepared, most things can be planned and dealt with, rather than being reacted to.

I've never lost a dime on preparations - food can be eaten and should be eaten before it goes bad. Guns and ammo never go down in value, and quality gear stays useful. The most useful prepping gear is camping gear, water filters and food.

There's nothing more satisfying than just going in the back, grabbing car parts off a shelf, and doing a job, rather than calling around and making a trip to town.

Even the boy scout motto is "Be Prepared".

"I think it would be fun to run out and weld all their shelter doors shut"

That would rid the world of paranoid schizophrenia. Mental health problem solved.

Chances are that the people who would lock themselves underground, don't rely on government meds. Welding the doors shut would be pretty funny though.

I was in the boy scouts, and know that you rarely need anything more than a torch (several bics), a knife, and some good rope to survive just about anywhere. Knowledge is the most powerful tool.

It seems logical to assume that all the hard assets accumulated by "preppers" for the current event (should nothing occur) may be used for something else - say the next financial bust hitting Q1 2013...

Noboday said they were preparing for 2012.

Boy scouts were the original preppers.... :)

What are you doing on a website like GLP?
