Skyrad 0 #29 October 3, 2012 QuoteQuoteAre you a 'prepper' and if so what are you prepping for? What actions have you taken to secure your future? (Pensions not included) Is this an English phrase? I'm not familiar with it, but I see at least some of the East coast folks are. I'm in a pretty lousy place for self sufficiency if something dramatic happened, there are millions of people or harsh ocean between me and something approaching wilderness. On the positive side, most of my neighbors are unarmed and afraid of guns. As in financially securing ones future, I just thought I'd preclude pensions as some joker was bound to come out with it....

That means you should really be prepared to be self sufficient in those times. With hurricane Ike, some folks were with out power for over a month. I know some of you only think of the lack of lighting and A/C, but think about the food in your house. Think about what you have in your fridge versus what you have in your pantry. Do you have enough for even two weeks if power was out that long? What are your plans if that happens? Go to the store? Their power is out too and most grocery stores only have a few day's worth of food on hand. They no longer have large store rooms, they get daily truck deliveries.

kallend 1,623 #46 October 6, 2012 Quote"conflating" preppers with preppies. Example of a preppie. A preppie is someone who dresses in a fashion that they imagine people who went to expensive American prep schools dress (similar to public schools in GB). Wendy P. How about someone who DID go to an Ivy League school and dresses like it? What do you call them?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

wmw999 2,122 #48 October 7, 2012 Last year I drove up Mass Ave in Boston; passing by MIT and then Harvard was instructive. The look of the students (geek vs. WASP with sunglasses around their necks etc). The sense of entitlement in the Harvard area was palpable.

Squeak 17 #50 October 7, 2012 QuoteQuoteAre you a 'prepper' and if so what are you prepping for? What actions have you taken to secure your future? (Pensions not included) Is this an English phrase? I'm not familiar with it, but I see at least some of the East coast folks are. I'm in a pretty lousy place for self sufficiency if something dramatic happened, there are millions of people or harsh ocean between me and something approaching wilderness. On the positive side, most of my neighbors are unarmed and afraid of guns. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2069270/You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!
