What Some Preppers Groups Do When Faced With Disaster

By Iva Cannon


People get some funny ideas all of the time. Many of these ideas have a grain of truth that makes them very serious and foreboding. One of these is the idea that the government may be coming after them for one reason or another. They will store up a lot of food, water and guns. They will create dug out holes with walls and floors as well as a roof and man them with rifles and plenty of ammunition. These people go by many names and one of the nicest is probably preppers groups.

Sometimes these people see natural disasters as a reason to pull themselves away from the larger world and become grouped together. Most of the time this is just a family and other times it is more than a family that gets together to defend themselves. The number of people getting together does not matter. They support each other with mutual respect.

There is a lot of planning that goes into some of these groups elaborate schemes. A large number of them have special water filtering and storage facilities. Others will stock plenty of bottled water, sanitized for long life. The vast majority of them are prepared with generators that can run on many different fuels, including bicycle operated and hand pumps.

Food is needed by everyone for life and these preppers are no different. A lot of space will be devoted to this commodity. The dehydrated foods that are available will supply these members with a lot of vital body fuel that is necessary for the life they expect to find. These groups will need more than a standard bug out bag because they will be living the life a bug out bag only hints at.

Once each group gets established, they very rarely recruit new members. The purpose of being off by themselves is that they have to protect what little they have from anyone else who is not a part of them. Very few will trade with each other because that would give away precious secrets they are ill prepared to give away.

Many of these groups are also second amendment believers, which is, certainly, not against the law. Some of them will take this too far. Those will be militant to a large degree and will defend themselves, often, at danger of being discovered and caught. These are those who believe, honestly, that the government wants to confiscate guns and ammunition.

Many others are not as militant as those angry ones are. These will be more open about their dealing with others, however, do not expect them to be welcoming of strangers. The reason for them being apart from others is the distrust that can be generated because of outside circumstances in which they find themselves.

These people are very serious minded individuals. They have a definite purpose in mind and they are, usually, single minded about it. They seclude themselves so they are able to withstand whatever is thrown at them. They do not take kindly to outsiders and expect you to respect that.
