Preppernation: Why do we prep?

Why are we prepping, in light of how we are seen by society? Often our families think we’re crazy and our friends are either preppers themselves or they avoid certain subjects like the plague… Actually they wouldn’t even mention a “Plague” because then they would have to listen as we explain to them that that is a very real possibility and they should have some things set aside in case a plague were to actually show its head.
Our families love us or at least most of the time they love us, so they will tolerate the strange canned Christmas presents and just shake their heads when we go off on some prepper doom subject! Why do we subject ourselves to this scrutiny? Is it that we love those around us? Do we just have to tell others, so they will do the responsible thing and start prepping too?
I think that its more of a way to vent off some of the frustration I believe we “Preppers” all carry with us. We see the world around us for what it is and where the weak links are. We know that there are some real issues that aren’t even being identified, much less dealt with. By exposing them to those around us, we have a temporary relief from the burden we’re carrying. This is at least one of the explanations that I’ve come up with for myself. Possibly you all have other reasons that you feel you are seeing things in your world that others either don’t see or just dismiss out of ignorance… Ignorance is bliss, right! It would seem to hold true as we watch the people in our communities conducting business as usual, even with the world around them going to hell in a hand-basket.

I have three of these water filtration bottles. One in the truck, one in the jeep and keep one in the cabin. You can fill it up from the bottom and filter water immediately by simply squeezing the bottle.
This little water filter kept me going last winter when my cistern ran dry. Pick one up and throw it in your bug-out bag only $19.99. Great for filtering captured rainwater from your roof!Survival Poll

Gold is nice but if you really want financial security in the years ahead brew your own beer. Cheap home brew is a great barter item and as "sin" taxes go up the black market value will continue to increase.
