Hi All

I have been watching a program called doomsday preppers and it is litterally about American's views on what the "doomsday" will look like and how they are preparing for it, obviously being American they prep to the extreme, I am starting to think that maybe a little prepping is a good idea, I'm pretty sure my wife would think I am crazy but surely it doesn't hurt to have a couple of weeks at least worth off food water and medicine, not enough to make me a target though. Also maybe I should have a "bug out" plan of meeting places and possible escape scenarios?

Am I crazy? Does anyone hear practice any prepping?
 
What would you be preparing for?

The reasons lots of Americans do it is because they are stupid.

You dont sound stupid.
 
I like the idea but can never be bothered. It really winds my wife up so I always pull her leg by over exaggerate my preppingness. I am not allowed a chain saw though and we don't have enough room for lots of dried goods.
 
I am fully prepared for the impending Zombie Apocalypse, Does that count ?

Thanks :)

All those that think it is stupid will be sorry if something does happen and me and my family have a glut of food, water and medical supplies and you are having to eat your friends and family and drink your own urine :)

If anything does happen you won't need to worry about having a glut of food, water and medical supplies for long.
 
Am I the only one to think you typo'd and were going to be talking about some insanely hot new variety of chilli?

I don't know anyone who preps. I have a 10kg sack of rice in the cupboard but that hardly counts!

Yeah, I retract my original statement.
 
What non events you on about?

Apparently a no fly list has come into operation in America stopping Preppers from flying.

If doomsday arrives and im unprepared, I shall swiftly find a prepared person and take their stuff by force. Its survival of the fittest not the person with the most tinned peaches.
 
Most people already have most of what they need to survive in short term in their homes already....they just require the actual knowledge to use it...in the medium to long term, having a house full of food, weapons and other coveted goods is only going to draw a huge target on you for the first bunch of roving gang-bangers to come and take from you. Better to learn survival techniques and the ability to live off the land than hoard things people will certainly try to take from you by force.
