Do preppers expect to survive when the big one hits?

[Bird Dog]

The only reason I prep - and I use that work loosely, as I am not a die-hard prepper [see what I did there?] - is so that I can turn people away from my stockpile and laugh at them while I am eating my stale saltine crackers and rancid peanut butter.

In short: I want to laugh at other people.

She's kidding. IRL she's kind and generous.

But don't tell anyone.

I keep emergency supplies that will tide us over for a good long while as I grew up in deep snow country.
Nuclear Mushrooms sprout, will be on the back deck grilling bratwurst and drinking beer.

"prepper" is a broad term that blankets a very wide range of behaviors and activity. ME?..I am "prepared" for another hurricane,. I'm prepared for any event that results in long-term loss of electrical power and fuel supplies..can feed 6-8 people for months. I have several levels of "get home bags" that we take with us when we travel. Some of those will support (and defend) two people for a month minimum..longer with any outside source of food. And so on. But none of my preps are focused on surviving a near-direct nuke. I think that facet of "prepping" deflects from the much wider range of things one can do to simply be prepared to avoid being a begging victim when the SHTF. You know..like DeeJay will be.

Reminds me of the story my step-father told me about Saigon. Little kids running around soliciting the soldiers and civvies: Apparently their mothers were available...and still virgins. A miracle or ten.
