There are a lot of fancy reality shows on television that show what a prepper is and what a prepper is not. A prepper is not simply a redneck with a shotgun and a supped up pick up truck or a millionaire that has designed an undergrowd fortification that he can survive in for a year. Although these could be preppers. A prepper is a doctor, a taxi driver, a lawyer, a teacher, a plant worker, the mayor who is prepared for the unexpected. Anyone can be a prepper, it can be you!
You need to be a prepper. You need to be prepared. When a disaster hits, when a catastrophe comes your way. You need to be prepared. You need to have a source and supply of water. You need to have a supply of food. You need to have shelter. You need to have protection. You need water first and foremost. Then you need food and shelter. You cannot depend on others. You cannot depend on government. You need a way to defend yourself and your family. The police may not be there. The National Guard may not be there. You must be prepared.
The disaster is so widespread there is no Red Cross to bring you meals. There are no shelters set up by the government. It is just you and your family. What are you going to do? This is why you must be a prepper. This is why you must be prepared. A prepper is probably not the people you see on television or the neighbor who always shows off all his guns to you everytime you visit.
A prepper has water and foot storage for when a catastrophe occurs. A lot of people have food storage but they don't have water storage. They assume water will always be available. They assume that if the water is available that it will be drinkable. What if the water is not there or what if the water is contaminated? They have shelter, they have plans for what happens if they are caught outside of their shelter or must venture outside of their shelter.
You must be prepared. Why would you not be prepared? If you know this is a possibility, why would not be prepared? We have insurance of all sorts to insure against the unexpected. Being prepared insures you and your family have the best chance to come through a disaster safely.
I've lived through a tornado, a flood and a hurricane. In each catastrophe I had to rely on the generosity of others. That is a helpless feeling. What if others are not there. What if others are there but in worse shape than you are. You cannot always run to the store. There will be people that get to the store before you do. A lot of times there will be so many people that get to the store before you do that the store shelves have been emptied.
What if fuel is not available to get to the store. You might have a nice automobile but if you don't have fuel for that car what good does it do you? If you don't have the ability to drive to the store. If that store is sold out of water and food by the time you get there. What do you do? You had better have been prepared and have those things in your home.
The same is true for protection. For self defense of yourself and your family. Your cell phone may not be working. And even if it were working there may not be anyone on the other end of 911. You need to be prepared for your own self defense and the self defense of your family. You must stock up on the weapons you will need including plenty of ammunition. And do not forget the weapons that do not require ammunition. If the disaster last long enough you may run out of ammunition, what will you do then? You need to be prepared for this as well in regards to self defense.
Just like the fuel that goes in you automobile, the ammunition you have will one day run out if the disaster last long enough and is wide spread. You must have methods of defense that do not require the need of ammunition or sources that can be used up.
In closing a prepper is someone who is prepared when a disaster or catastrophe hits. It could be nature, it could be man made. The cause of the disaster is not important. If you need food and water you will not worry about what caused the situation. What is important is you will need water, foot, shelter and protection.
Don't be afraid. Be prepared! Be a Prepper!
