There was a woman who lived a couple miles from me who was a prepper. She died and they sold her stuff at an auction, including her survival food, it went really high and had multiple bidders. There are more Preppers than people think.
Yep. The "writing on the wall" is more than obvious.
I know the radical left is going to freak in 2012 when they lose big. I can see it all now. Like in the UK, people and businesses will have no choice but defend themselves.
The socialists have run out of other peoples money. Now what? The left will have to go through withdrawal symptoms, so it's going to get ugly.
About 10 years ago I went to the auction of a fellow who obviously believed in self-sufficiency;but his widow was obviously terrified of the government.His long guns could only be purchased by agreeing to an un-needed background check through an FFL dealer BY THE WIDOW’S ORDERS.He had guns,tools of all kinds,two-way radios, and survival food.The food actually brought little more than the value of empty plastic buckets!!!The people around here look at what you call “prepping” as very odd behavior.Heck,most of the farmers go to the grocery store as much as any city folk.There are fewer gardens now than when I was young.
