One man’s hoarder is another man’s prepper.

The guy’s place looked like Fred Sanford’s junkyard. Nothing I would want to live next...or anywhere nearby.

But the people ripping him off are the real animals, IMO.

No it’s really not. Hoarding is a real psychological condition. Most preppers are very organized, it’s almost an inherent quality. After all, why prepare if it all goes to hell because of poor storage?

Being a hoarder sure as heck doesn’t mean that he is a prepper, but you can’t be a true prepper, without being a hoarder.

Trade goods, duplicates, products that will no longer exist, junk and waste that is plentiful today and will be precious after an event, hoarding is an ugly aspect of the deeply prepared.

Only a hoarder will live with dog and cat feces and think nothing of it....toilets that don't work and are black with crap...these aren't collectors, they are mentally ill and many have morbid obesity...big correlation between the 2 when you watch enough of these shows....No prepping involved in refrigerators inside crawling with bugs, one hoarder had 2 dead cats under all the crap crammed intothe house.....health hazard to owner and neighbors...
