    What the hell is wrong with being ready for when the shit hits the fan? You know its coming. I keep a years worth of shelf stable food and plenty of 5 gallon jugs of water. That shit came in damn handy during the covid freakout. Post covid, I also keep at least one month worth of toilet paper, I didn’t forsee THAT shortage lol.

      Don’t get me wrong I also have a pantry and I appreciate it much. Also we’re all survivors of the toilet paper wars and ridden by fears of shortages in the shops.

      In my opinion prepper is a much too general term. On the one hand there are meal-preppers, pantry enthusiasts and guys with a bigger than life freezer and a few storage racks in the basement.

      On the other hand guys with bunkers, emergency plans, a stock of weapons who already living more their “Fallout” life than real life.
      People who are so uber-prepared that they already live in their own world with their own rules. Then it’s a little step to protect that world at all costs, even against the state.
      Often combined with leaning towards conspiracy theories or xenophobia.
      That’s the people I mean.
