When I mention “Prepper” to most people, they roll their eyes and picture Zombies. Oh, the zombie apocalypse. This concept has pervaded American culture for
decades, arguably beginning with the classic Night of the Living Dead and plenty of movies after and that now include series like AMC's The Walking Dead.

Now when I first thought about prepping, I must admit that those thoughts even crossed my mind. No, I’m not suggesting this nor am I ready for a tin foil hat and a padded room. My personal opinion, is that there is very little chance of a Zombie attack, unless you are talking about the rabid fans that are addicted to certain news stations that either completely slant things left or right and do not strive to merely present the news and facts.
Again my personal opinion, is that if there was ever to be a situation that called for hunkering down, banding together and a prolonged survival situation, it will be because of water and food shortages or because the 99% got fed up with the ruling 1% in America.
Prepping, to me, simply means being prepared for an emergency. Those emergencies can be either man-made or natural disasters. There are lots of scenarios to be prepared for- oil, gas, food or water shortages; wild fires, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes or tornadoes that force evacuations; hazardous chemical spills; nuclear power plant meltdowns; explosions; and any other number of things that can cause a temporary or permanent relocation. This is why we have added Prepping to our site about Homesteading. It is important to be prepared for anything that comes your way!
