When it comes to hypothetical situations of when the grid goes down, and chaos ensues, many preppers have an idea of what will happen. Whether it has come from literature or reinforced through pop culture, everyone has a theory.
Take a moment and think about all of the books that have been about a survivalist post-collapse, or a favorite post-apocalyptic television show. Also, that doesn't include the fears that most survivalists have when thinking about Doomsday.
However, when preppers take the time to think of these far-fetched theories, they may discover that some of them are total BS.
To tell what is myth, and what is reality, preppers should question the following assumptions.
On the next page discover the answer to what many believe to be true and learn how to separate common “truths” from complete prepper BS.

Plan with people you trust because their is strength in numbers.
You would better serve your self and your loved ones by becoming super knowledgeable of all edible plants and their uses. I have spoke of this before and I assure you it will save your biscuits. People will kill you for a can of tuna but who wants dandelions or Jerusalem artichokes? What was spoken about in this post is absolutely true and I concur with them. Ponder this! If you have it, and I want it, I WILL GET IT FROM YOU! Trust me on this. Plan on staying low key and in place with some few trusted friends and neighbors. As a LONER YOU WILL BE EASY PREY! Plan to survive, not to be killed! Every day will challenge you anew. In the mid nineteenth century, 95% of a settlers time was spent planting food, harvesting food, preparing food, preserving food, providing food for his animals! Any time left over was spent repairing his shelter, wagon, fences, traps, gathering firewood for the winter and praying. Yes, I said praying! It is hard not to pray when you live with the fact that you may be killed in any of a thousand ways at any instant! It will be a learning experience to survive each day but the biggest asset you possess is your brain, USE IT WISELY AND OFTEN! There are people living off of the grid today by choice and are thriving! You can also, if you plan and prepare wisely and do not expect to ever get the luxuries back that we all enjoy today! It does not have to be SPARTAN but the less attention you draw, the better for you!
Prepper Lives Matter
How did you know they even had ammo?
I’m not sure I agree with everything they say here. For example bugging in is not a good idea unless you have land in the country.If your in town bugging in is not an option. Every situation comes with it’s own challenges. You will have to adapt, improvise and overcome.
This whole article is BS.
There are 15 categories of prepping. Most preppers can’t even name them, much less prepare for them.
Once food runs out in the cities, the people will head for the country. If an EMP hits, no trucks will be running or bringing any food anywhere.
All I know is im coming for all your prepper$#%&!@*if anything happens
This was great! Thank you for some common sense!!!

Fast way to become worm food, especially being vocal about it.
We have a group. We are already establishing a small independent community. We have shared resources and skills. We train together regularly and farm our properties already and are building some shared resources such as a hospital and power production. We are working it on both sides of bugging in or out.
Im also here to troll your$#%&!@* Fast way to get you pissed off at me, especially since you guys are serious weirdos
I guess if ONLY an economic collapse happened then some of what is in this article would apply. But overall I think this article fits in its own BS pile it talks about.
“Make a living” living in the wilderness doesn’t really require money last I checked…
Why, who wants to live in a post apocalyptic world like a bunch of animals killing each other for a can of dog food.
I prep for civil unrest is all I prep for whether it’s caused by natural disaster or economic collapse it all boils down to the basic same principles and bugging out is bugging out to a smaller community where you have family as a support system, not deep into the woods unless it’s an alien invasion lol.
Actually most vehicles would withstand an emp if not will be simple fix look into if it is close enough to fry a car your dead anyhow
Glad I’m not the only one who sees this problem in #5
Gosh, finally a reasonable read.
I know one thing. History is 1/3 truth, because the other two sides where killed off and can’t rebuttal the evens that really took place..
So, truth, all government are not the people’s friend in any way shape of form.. They only been to satisfy our needs when WE AS A GROUP stand up together and ask for what we want..
Until we all stand up and demand the changes that we want, they (the government and the rich) are going to follow the established agenda until the goal is reached; which is a society exactly like the Chinese…
And have a lot! of bullets
Do you even grammar bro?
Troll away little man, calling me a weirdo lol I’ve been called worse by better men and women then you. As for pissed, nah just wondering how the$#%&!@*your dad shot in his boyfriends$#%&!@*managed to get in a vajayjay and make you? Becky Williams Brian Kevin Bryant want to clown on a loser?
Who the hell is this loser? Clo7wn all ya want, you see how well it’s working out for them lately. This asshat will only be able to prey on the weak, not me…not worth the time and effort to even type this
Too many ads and clicks, please learn to put a small$#%&!@*article in one page.
I hope you’re that fkn ignorant I have a very special piece of$#%&!@*waiting for you little man
Xavier Morales we have very special kinda of love for gov fks like you bad boy and a few MERC to give it
What’s a prepper??? What the hell is this some tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theory group???? 😉
All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.

Good article. I agree with the author’s thoughts.
I’ll bet this article is pretty informing, but I’m not clicking next to find out.
You got a shitgun too?
Thanks Jeremy Honeycutt.didnt catch that
I agree but if your know you are going to have to bug out because you are in a concrete jungle, better get out before the shtf…otherwise you’ll be fighting your way out…
Agreed
I disagree with this article more than I agree with it … I’m guessing it was written by someone from a city, but ty for you’re time and effort
tHAT ISN’T EVEN ORIGINAL.
All I need to say…
The second I got to stock up on non-lethal means I stopped. This is pure bs, you feel truly threatened you shoot to kill. If you hit someone with a bean bag they are still a threat
The one rule of thumb that will always apply will be logical thinking and problem solving, understanding you strengths and weaknesses and preparing accordingly.
I have a decent food supply( 20 days). And ten gallons of water, first aid supplies, most importantly I have a large amount of ammo, for all weapons in house.
