Prepper BS People Must Stop Believing in Now… Before it’s too Late

Post apocalyptic survivor in gas mask

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.

    Timothy Mckenna: The list I devised several years ago (in no particular order): Food – Clothing – Shelter – Water – Medical – Transportation – Power generation – Communication – Self defense – Cash – Tools – Fuels – Evacuation – Education – Camp government ——————– The list compiled by Arthur T Bradley, PhD in his 2012 book “Disaster Preparedness EMP Attacks” lists the following: Food – Shelter – Water – Transportation – Electrical power – Communication – Medical – Financial security – Protection – Light – Heating/cooling – Air – Sleep ———– His list and mine coincide on most categories and differ on a few. His book does cover some of my other categories but weren’t shown on his list. ———- Notice that guns is not a category on his list or mine. — Guns would be a subcategory of Self Defense and Food.

    90+% of city dwellers have no preps, every hurricane and flood proves that even after all these years…..89% of those people believe the government will somehow save them….9% of the remaining are poorly prepared and would not survive long….possibly 1% could actually survive long term before somewhat of a rebuild took place….If you think you can bugout and make it very long ? take your bugout bag and go to the woods for 2 weeks instead of going on vacation…..your wakeup call will be harsh….99.9% would not last very long with a bugout bag, especially those with kids or anyone who needs any type of regular medical care or drugs….movies are jokes when it comes to what would really happen….If you base anything off of movies you will die quick…

    Theres a difference between sharing info within your group and posting it to a public forum. Youre right about the lone wolf mentality, i agree 100% on that one.

    You don’t shoot to kill, you shoot to stop, if they happen to die then so be it but shooting to stop is defense, shooting to kill is murder.

    Your bug out bag should be good for 2 to 3 days to get you to someplace you have supplies stashed. I’d say a better way to test your bug out bag would be to go on a 3 day, 2 night camping trip, I hiked into Havasu Falls in Arizona with mine last winter, 2 nights no problem but I did find out that after about 7 miles it starts to suck, I just have to decide what kind of pack to get next that will be better for carrying weight over long distances.

    Wouldn’t economic collapse go along with every major situation? I guess each scenario can’t be exclusive from the other possibilities. Civil unrest and looting seems like the biggest threat immediately after disasters

    The country boys will commune and outsiders won’t be welcomed if shtf. Idk where city folk will bug out to. It’s called the bubba affect. FBI has already studied it

    Center mass or in the face if possible. There is no wounding or shooting the gun out of their hands like in a western .

    Please rework your monetization platform. This is a pretty rough read.

    Why the$#%&!@*can’t you make a complete sentence? Spell a word? Quit posting gibberish for a headline DHS.

    The title of that article sums up pretty much everything this page posts, including this article

    Decent quality baby strollers w some modded tires for dirt would help a bit. I hold on to old ones w/o the mods in case of street travel so the lil ones can help out too. If you have a couple big dogs they can pull an umbrella stroller with a tent or first aid at least..every pound, shoot,every ounce starts to count u kno.

    Food, medical, and personal protection……in that order of priority.

    The way I read the headline is “Stop, believe in the BS mentioned”
