extra stout posted:i'm saying i want to understand the mind of the 2016 prepper, who doesn't even know where his enemy will come from, or if he would want to outlive such an attack, and yet prepares for it anyway. just me personally: the shut down of a society is a good thing to prep for if you have that kind of a mind, to prepare to survive in a world not worth living in seems much much less fun. My sister married into a prepper family, and it's astonishing what they prepare for and what they don't. Things they have prepared: -An iron safe that they store electronics in, in case someone unleashes an EMT attack -A camera-equipped drone, so that they can "survey the neighborhood to know where the attackers are" -Weird MRE type food that's all junk. Not like lentils or rice, but like freeze-dried mac n cheese and instant chocolate cake. -Guns. Lots of guns. BIG guns. Things they have not prepared: -Owning a rainbarrel or considering having any source of water other than from the tap -Knowing how to grow any vegetable -Having any interest or knowledge in trapping or hunting -Any useful basic skills like cooking or knitting or carpentry It's sad watching her skillfully and methodically check, clean, and lock up a firearm, then protest that gardening is too hard when I offer to give her one of my a little tomato plants.
