Becoming a Prepper - The How, When and What
Doomsday Preppers was a series on TV, the reality is that much of what was on that program was scripted for show, those individuals were not that crazy. However, much of the modern impression of preppers is grounded in the idea that they are disconnected from reality, they hate government, love guns, want chaos and basically want to see the world burn.
The truth is that preppers are simply individuals who believe that there is a likelihood of a pause in the provision of critical infrastructure (CI) that will last longer than 14 days, but that society will eventually recover and return to normal. Hence, their preparedness measures differ from what is normally recommended as they adopt processed that allow them to replicate the sectors of CI for an extended period.
Not the stockpiling of basements, but the skills and tools necessary to provide for what is no longer available from society.
In this episode, we talk about how to become a prepper, the concerns, processes and idea - including how to build a group and find an offsite location for temporary evacuation of urban / suburban areas.
