CHAPTER 1- WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A PREPPER?
If person grew up during the Cold War, it, sometimes, did feel like that person's world would end at any moment with a nuclear mushroom. The United States would make the Soviet Union so angry that they would fire all their nuclear missiles at us and the United States would respond with their own nuclear missiles. The ones who really believed that the end was coming were called survivalists. When the mushroom clouds appeared in the skies, they would be ready for it and would be able to ride out the coming apocalypse without a problem. Times have changed and the Soviet Union is gone. The word survivalist
has gone as well; it has been replaced with prepper. What they believe in and what they will do for the end of the world has not changed.
The preppers still believe that the end of the world is just around the corner, but they do disagree about how that world is going to end. It could be a disease that is so deadly and insidious that doctors can't stop the outbreak. The economies collapse so badly that there is just no chance of recovery. They believe in the movies and TV shows that they do actually think that there is going to be a zombie apocalypse. The nuclear threat still exists, but it could be a terrorist setting off a nuclear bomb instead of the Soviet Union. Their belief in the end is strong so they don't argue much about how the world is going to end.
Being a prepper or survivalist does seem to mean that you believe in a different kind of housing. You don't believe in houses should be above ground. The above-ground house would be easy for the hungry hordes to see and they would attack it. An above-ground house would just be an easy target. The preppers' home during the end of the world should be an underground house without windows. Actually, it is more like a very large basement with separate rooms. There should be enough for a family and their neighbors. This is traditionally called a bunker and it does seem to be the place to go when things go really bad.
Before the end comes, buying in bulk would seem to be the way to go. The end of the world is not going to be just a day or two. It could be years and years. There are stores where you can buy a mayonnaise jar that is taller then you are. You are going to need food and drink for the end and buying in bulk would seem to be the way to go.
Buying lots of food is not the only thing that preppers buy a lot of. They always seem to buy lots and lots of weapons. It is assumed that during the end of world, most people will go completely mad have no compunction killing their fellow human being for food or for gas. The zombies will certainly hold no mercy for human beings. They just don't need those guns to take out people and zombies. They need them to hunt the remaining wildlife for food if they run out of their bulk food.
Guns are not the only kind of weapons that preppers need. They also need knives, bows and arrows. The ammunition will eventually run out. During the end, they cannot go to the nearest gun store and Wal-Mart and buy some ammo. They will need weapons that require no ammunition so they will have to use bows and arrows.
Being a prepper means learning how they did things before there was electricity. You will have to act like it is 1814, not 2014. You will have to learn how to cook on a wood stove, not propane or gas. You will have to learn how to milk. You will have to learn how to grow plants without the benefit of chemical fertilizer or insect repellent. Essentially, you will have to learn what it is like to be a farmer before the invention of tractors. Being a prepper means going really, really old school.
The adult prepper is not the only one who has to learn about what it is like before there was electricity. The children of the preppers will have to learn these skills as well. Soon as they are coordinated enough, the children will have to know how to put bullets into a gun and how to aim it so they don't hit their fellow preppers. They will have to learn how to fire a bow and borrow. They will have to learn the same farming skills as their parents. As long as the hordes or zombies don't get them, they will be the next generation.
What does seem particular about preppers is that they are mostly from North America. In 1999, when the millennium bug seemed on the verge of sending humanity back to the Stone Age, it was the North Americans who lined up first to buy as much as they could before the end of it all. Other nationalities seemed completely nonchalant about the whole thing.
What is it about some persons that they are so obsessed with the end of the world? It is partly a religious thing. Most persons are Christian and most of them have read the Bible. The Bible has a book called Revelations and it talks about how the world will end in a certain way. This is why the most religious persons are obsessed with the end of it all. They are the ones who are always predicting that the apocalypse is coming soon. The other reason is that it is genetics. Some North American's ancestors were the Puritans and they came to the New World, because they didn't fit into British society anymore. They came with the idea in mind that the Devil or the British or somebody else would take everything away from them. This fear still remains today. Genetics and religion are why Americans are so obsessed with the end of everything.
CHAPTER 2- WHAT ARE THE BASICS OF PREPPING FOR A DISASTER?
It can happen to any of us: a wind storm or fallen tree knocks out the power, and it's out for weeks. A tornado hits, knocking out the water pipes and electrical lines, or a winter storm hits leaving you stuck inside the house for a few days or even weeks. So, just how do you prepare for such an unexpected emergency? These government approved disaster prepping tips will show you how.
Plan to Be Stuck
Waiting out a disaster is the only choice you will have in some instances, so keep this in mind when prepping for a disaster. Here are some basic tips to help you successfully prepare for an emergency.
Water
Short Term Water Supply
There are two types of water supply: short term and long term. Short term water supplies are great in the case of an approaching storm that you have been pre warned about and have time to plan for. For this type of emergency, you can fill 2 liter soda bottles, collapsible jugs, or use a bathtub liner to fill the bathtub with water for a water supply that is ready in a moment's notice.
Long Term Water Supply
Long term water supplies are for the disasters that hit without a moment's notice, leaving you little or no time to store tap water. In these cases, you will need an ample supply of bottled water; gallons of water purchased from the store, or you can fill empty 2 liter soda
