    Preppers think that stocking up and hoarding supplies will somehow make them a one-man army capable of taking on the world if society were to collapse into some Mad-Max hellscape.

    What they don’t realize is that stockpiling those supplies is just going to make them a target. And I don’t care who you are: If you make yourself that big of a target, people will come for your stuff. En masse. And I don’t care if you’re armed to the teeth Schwarzenegger style: You cannot survive a horde of people who have decided they want your stuff and are ready to kill you for it.

    All preppers are doing is organizing a nice pile of supplies for the first group of people to come around and decide that his house would make a good place to camp.

      You think they don’t want the chance to use their gun stockpile in an Alamo last stand type of outcome?
