My wife and I were watching the Today Show this morning. They did a show on the American Prepper Movement. Apparently it is a large group of people (over 3 million families) that believes in preparing for the end of the world as we know it.
Definition of a prepper:
Prepper (noun): 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-reliant), or without substantial assistance from outside resources (govt., etc.) in order to minimize the effects of that change on their current lifestyle.
They build shelters, stock a year supply of food, turn their pools into stocked fish ponds and yes they wear gas masks
I laughed at that, but my wife asked "What are you laughing at?" "You have a Radio and Generator to practice for emergencies, a radio in your truck and we keep a chest freezer with about three months of food. "
