They aren't talking about actual preppers. I read the info. they had. They say prepare for “a couple of days”, giving you time to go to a “refugee” center.
I'm prepared for most anything but I would live in a cave and eat questionable berries before I would go to their “refugee” center.
Then I get to decide who lives and who dies.
Preppers com in all shapes and sizes just like any group of people, most don’t even agree on what they are prepping for, but all of them agree on a fews things one the best hand up you can get is one you give yourself. All of them refuse to be a prop in the backdrop money shot for some news achor showing them standing on a bridge waiting for FEMA to bring them a bottle of water, an MRE and a warm banket.
Most feel like Marcella that you either prepare to stand on your own beholden to no one or you end up becoming dependent on others to provide your basic needs and become thier‘serf’.
For myself like Marcella I don’t want to be beholden to anyone for providing what is needed for me and mine. I certainly don’t want to have to kiss some ‘gubberment’ third class bureaucratic butt to try and coax some help from them, I don’t want some ‘jack booted’ thug herding me in line and telling me where to stand, sit, eat or sleep.
And last but not least I don’t want to be shut up in with a bunch of ‘zombies’ and have to worry about not only trying to get basic necessities but having to fight to keep what I manage to get.
That’s what the heart of prepping is all about.
Say can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I’ve been eating them for six or seven weeks now, haven’t gotten sick once
