Just wondering if there are people in the Villages who are in the Prepper movement and I don't mean the TV show!

I know, we live in a nice bouble here in The Villages but with the events going on all over the world I have taken a real interest in being prepared for some kind of economic event within next year. If you think gas is expensive now just wait until Iran is attacked.

Oh no, the sky is falling....the sky is falling.

We can only pray that there are not. Those folks are beyond paranoid. Very Sad to live that way.

I don't have a clue what preppers are.

Do they like dogs? I like dogs. I suspect not.

I googled preppers: Here you go Gracie:

The Prepper Movement: Why Are Millions Of Preppers Feverishly Preparing For The End Of The World As We Know It?

dwebb - I try to prepare for bad events as i think most reasonable folks do - hope you find some like-minded individuals to correspond with.

Bogie - Do you need a hug? The guy asks a reasonable question and you go off on him. Shame on you.

I only found out yesterday what they are when the news showed the guy in Orlando that stole a trailer and buried it in his backyard. It was suppose to be his doomsday bunker, after they dug it out it looked like he didn't calculate what the weight of the dirt would do to the trailer. My favorite part was when he was being lead into jail the TV news girl asked him, 'why didn't you just buy the trailer'.

If "prepping" involves hoarding basic supplies and owning guns I want no part of it.
Besides which, I don't want to be alive if most people are dead.

I am going with you Jblum. Living like an animal in fear is not living at all. Like I said earlier, very sad. I feel so sorry for people that live as though everything is a conspiracy out to get you.

[billethkid]

so those of us that already own the guns but just need to stock up on food are OK....eh?

I don't plan to hoard anything but we usually have a pretty full pantry. I do have a gun for "sport" and protection if necessary. During my lifetime, we have gone through several periods of time when folks thought the "world as we know it was coming to an end." Its still here----for better or worse!

Remember Katrina, when within two days people were on roofs with signs no food, no diapers, send help? Perhaps we would all be well advised to be prepared for whatever disaster is likely to impact us- bad storms or a disruption in the supply lines of food in this area. Tornados, earthquakes and hurricanes can wreak havoc and being prepared for whatever is likely to happen in your area is sensible. Such as having a week of water and food, a way to heat food, getting messages out.

THAt would be no change from the way I always live. It isn't because I am preparing for a disaster. I am preparing for drop in company.
