Seeing how our old prepper thread got nuked (ironic, isn't it? ), I thought it would be approp[riuate in these times to resurrect this one, have fun.

Prepping doesn't always mean for the end of the world or collapse of society, anyone who lives on the Gulf Coast should be a little bit prepper for hurricanes.

And yeah, there is a wide range of preppers, so ymmv, some may seem irrational to you, get over it.


How to Survive the Apocalypse
- in tha New York Times, so you know it's getting serious

Quote:
President Trump threatens to “totally destroy North Korea.” Another hurricane lashes out. A second monster earthquake jolts Mexico. Terrorists strike in London. And that’s just this past week or so.

Yes, the world is clearly coming to an end. But is there anything you can do to prepare?

That is not a philosophical question, or a theological one. And if it is a question that seems to beg any explication, you may stop reading now.

But if you are among the swelling class of weekend paranoiacs of affluent means who are starting to mull fantasies of urban escape following the endless headlines about disasters, both natural and manufactured, you may be starting to see a different image in your mind when think “survivalist.” You may no longer see the wild-eyed cave dweller in camouflage fatigues, hoarding canned goods. You may even see one in the mirror.
