Doomsday rising Preppers


I think you would be surprised how some preppers doomsday there are these days. Most people are extremely shortsighted and think that the apocalypse is just crap.

To each his own, right?

Anyways, should be encouraged to know that there are thousands and thousands of us out there. Although everyone is preparing for something else, I think we all know that any preparation is better than any preparation at all.

Now let's look at a few types of doomsday preppers, shall we?

The oil catastrophe Preppers

As you can imagine, these are the people who prepares for the world running out of oil. Some experts say he will not run for decades. Others say that we'll be out by 2020, if not before. However, it never hurts to get prepared, right?

Some of these preppers doomsday has a car parked pretty close to where they live. When the shit hits the fan, who hike or bike to that hidden car and then get out of town.

Others have planned on just hunkering down where they live. Seed banks, hidden-away pets and gas are what you would expect to get them through the hard times.

Financial Meltdown Doomsday Preppers

These are people are gearing up for both a national or global financial meltdown. Whereas the United States is getting deeper into debt every year and the dollar is slipping, this type of disaster might occur very soon.

So how have these preppers is preparing? Well, if the financial system melts down, we have no ready access to food, water, oil, animals, clothing-rather nothing. The preppers are getting ready by stocking up on a lot of essential elements.

Keep in mind that when it comes to preparing for an Apocalypse, the Earth more do you need to raise crops and animals, the better. Although most humans live in cities, they probably regret when they're fighting each other for supplies, after the financial crisis occurs.

Nuclear War Doomsday Preppers

This began during the cold war, but have never really gone out of style. The fear of a nuclear war is on the rise as Iran is pushing scientists to develop nuclear warheads. Also, consider that the United States, Russia, China and a lot of other countries have nuclear weapons. Pretty scary, right?

Unfortunately this is a harder thing to prepare for than many other scenarios. If there is a nuclear fallout, it will be difficult for anything to survive for a long time. It is for this reason that many of these have deep dugouts preppers. These shelters are stocked with plenty of food and water, as well as ways to get more (e.g. water filtration systems and lights to grow fruits and vegetables).

Alien Invasion Doomsday Preppers

For some of us, this may seem a little silly. For others, this is the most likely form of disaster, that we are likely to see in the coming years.

For the most part, it's hard to say as the aliens invade. They take on our bodies as invasion of the body snatchers? Have huge machines that basically laser-zap us into dust as in the war of the worlds?

Since it is difficult to say, most of these preppers are making general preparations-stocking food, water, weapons, and ammunition. Lot of ammunition.

Pros and cons of sharing that you're a Prepper


On a nice forum on Doomsday preparation during the preparation and survival, there is a lot of talk about who is sharing the knowledge that I am a prepper of survival. This usually leads to a nice views and theories on the matter.

On one side of the coin there is safety in numbers. It would certainly be in a much safer position if you were a group of two protecting what you have than if there were a group of two.

From the other side we have the question of trust. If you have a good stash survival items and safety, like guns and Ammo is telling people to add more risk to your safety?

I don't know that there is a good solid answer to this as every situation is different and the group dynamics are different in each group. Could lead to a couple of people who know each other very well, but when the shit hits the fan you may consider bringing in others who know trying to help them. If you don't have the supplies and you could be on the outs with them and lead them to what you have and maybe even that.

On the other hand if you have family members and people you trust and really work as a team for greater good of everyone, then I just will make you stronger. You will be more able to adapt to change in this type of environment.

One thing that I think would help decide to remain separate or expand in numbers are equal. If you have say 1 year survival food for 10 and have plenty of guns and ammunition still others in the group have very little, you are not equal. They need you far more than you need them. This can lead to problems. Ideally all that you bring in your prepping should be able to contribute in equal amounts. If you have friends and family with nothing to try to work with them to build supplies before you bring into the fold.

Most people spend money every day that they could reuse for other things. That $ 5 Cup coffee that you drink twice daily is ten dollars per day or almost $ 300 a month. For that amount of money they could start out buying a supply of 30 days, or maybe a supply of 14 days and make coffee at home for much cheaper.

Also a lot of items that you may need can be found at thrift stores and garage sales. Things like canning jars, military stuff and camping are popular items at garage sales, so search around to see what you can find for cheap.

Long term, I believe that having a group of people or a quarter is the ideal way to go, but would always a level playing field that would help people like equals.

Every situation is different, of course, so it's important to use good judgment when deciding who to share your knowledge with prepping.
