I think getting yourself in good physical shape should be step one of prepping. You can prep a hundred bug out locations and it won't matter if you end up having a heart attack at the first sign of trouble.

[@bwcafishing]

I’m with you 100%. For years there has been a theme of overweight preppers on this show, and I can’t fathom why. Especially when most people on this show invest tons of money, and time into there plans..

[@yankeetherebel]

@@bwcafishing I've noticed it too. I think it's because spending money is easy (assuming you've got it to spend lol), but getting in shape is really hard. With that said, surviving in an apocalyptic state will also be really hard and IF someone genuinely believes that such a state will become the reality, you'd think that it would be better and easier to get in shape before it does... but apparently these preppers haven't considered that lol. Honestly, I think, for a lot of these "preppers" it's just an expensive roleplaying game or hobby. Perhaps the people who score the preps should grade for physical preparedness as one of the categories.

[@PhonkinPlants]

Being in shape sure but having low body fat is a downgrade. The first winter will be very difficult for folks without reserves in the tank. There is a happy medium here.

My Dad had a friend that was really into prepping. So much so that he let it take over his whole life. He was so convinced the world was ending that he quit his job, sold all of his family's possessions and invested every penny of their life savings into food storage and survival gear. That was in 2008. There's nothing wrong with prepping. I've got all sorts of stuff in my basement ready to go to keep my family alive if something were to happen. But don't let it take over your life to the point it cripples you financially or drives a wedge between you and your family.

[@yesman3208]

It’s a bit ironic for someone to spend their whole life prepping for a disaster so they can supposedly protect their life….which has only been spent prepping for said disaster….seems so pointless. And in the interim, they never actually ever live their life while they could.

[@singlemothertrucker376]

It was a part of my divorce. I decided theres no way I could stand being under ground with that guy for a year lol

[@markoredano9141]

A big part of preparedness is financial preparedness. Being debt free is a MUST. Anyone buying preps via debt is making a terrible, terrible decision. Did your dad's friend buy somewhat rural land & some type of shelter in order to garden/raise livestock with that money? Or did he only buy food & gear? If it was only buying food and gear, why would he need to quit his job? That would only make sense if he quit his job in order to move really far away from said job in order to be on safer rural property and to have the time to build up that land (developing the land, gardening, building structures, tending to animals, etc. - that all takes a LOT of time unless you have mountains and mountains of money to pay people to do it all or buy a really expensive turnkey property.) How is your Dad's friend doing today?

[@honeybadger1656]

In 2021, parts of South Africa were threatened by mass looting/rioting. I was in the province that was hit the hardest. After the first day, many shops were burnt to the ground and robbed with some police even joining in. Because of this, our community formed a large group and made roadblocks in and out of our small town. I was at one of the roadblocks and had a fair share of encounters. People started panick buying immediately, what made it worse was that most of the people weren't even from our town, they drove 30km to get to us. The stores couldn't get supplies from Trucks as those Trucks were either looted or forced to stay in a safe area. This meant that the shops ran out of supplies very quickly (less than a day). People from out of town became violent when they were told that all shops had run out of supplies. This only lasted a few days. Now imagine how bad it will get when it happens for weeks, months and years.

Same year but different scenarios, it was after Hurricane Rai (locally known as Typhoon Odette) where people from the city 60-100km away visit the small rural town I lived in and the first thing that was bought off was gas. This made people from my area mad because our transportation or commute was affected. City folks were also bulk buying food and water to the point that people in my area started cussing city folks for disrupting our way of life.

It is fed by a private reservoir that is fed by four natural springs, the reservoir never drops more than a couple inches during the summer. Brought a travel trailer out to the property and moved here. Paid off the property in 3 1/2 years, I dug a big pond out on my property that the creek comes into and put of back into the creek, stocked it with bass, catfish and bluegill. Brought solar and wind power in because I'm off the grid, hand dug a domestic water well for drinking water, the creek I set up to irrigate pastures, gardens and crops. Bought 2 tractors, sheep, pigs, goats, horses chickens, 3 40 foot storage containers for a NBC fallout shelter, commercial size greenhouses one with a wood stove to grow through winter months. Medical equipment and machines, every tool in the world. Way to much to list as far as my preps but my setup can sustain generations to come.

What’s imminent, another economic downturn just like the last 40 years? Perpetual boom bust cycles are the hallmark of unregulated capitalism. These are easily fixable problems. Just stock up on canned goods and nonperishables and have a plan for clean water and you’re good to go. Best to be mobile if something bad does happen. Humans lived without a nanny state protecting them for tens of thousands of years.

[@kennybachman35]

@peacenow42 there is no shortage of antibiotics or morphine. In fact we have too much antibiotics in our food and water, which is causing antibiotic resistance. And we are the foremost consumer of opiates on the planet, some farmers literally grow opium exclusively for our market. The armories and pharmacies will be the first thing looted, so keep that in mind. Mind you these are things that normal people have been considering for decades, burying myself in a bunker never once crossed my mind. The best way to prep for any given disaster is a “go bag” full of essentials and a well maintained vehicle. Maybe keep some camping gear with your go bag. Anything too heavy to carry that doesn’t go boom, or that you can’t eat will be dead weight.

[@jbson31]

There is nothing wrong with prepping, as long as you're being realistic. Have some type of firearm for self-protection and know how to use it. Have at least two weeks of food and water. Also, if you wanna go bigger, have some type of alternative power source like a solar or propane generator. If you have this or even a half of this congrats your a prepper.

[@Daniel_15293]

But all that prepping...it does not help against people that actually know what they're doing.. For example former special forces members or guys that are trained in combat.. I'm not an operator but I'd never attack anyone coming in from the front door with a vehicle that's not even bulletproof.. I'd try to sneak in through the woods with a squad and operate silent in the dark or sth like that.. 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

[@carolgreen1822]

If people want to prep with some sort of weapon, they need to address their fears of real guns. Talk to an expert, say a police officer or marksman at a gun range. You shouldn't fear guns when it comes to your safety. Educate yourself. Also, there is a real possibility things won't get that bad. It's beginning to sound like we are going to get hit with a nuclear war. It's been said and prophesized that the U.S. is going to badly suffer - in that case death to 9 out of 10 people will come very quickly. This country isn't what it used to be and it has many enemies. We will be attacked - probably at the same time - by all the nuclear weapons holding countries (China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, ++). There's no place to hide, unless you go underground. Keep in mind that drones are increasingly being used. They will be in use in the hills and mountains. Prep the best you can. Hide your valuables and be ready to let the bad guys take what they want.

[@lorrainearmstrong7587]

Rule 1 of being a prepper: Never tell people how you are prepping That being said the one thing everyone should consider is being in better shape.

The first prepper had a pretty solid plan, but now they need to make a new plan and find a new location.

But they wouldn't last more than a day if someone gets up on that ridge, or a determined group realizes they have all of those supplies.
