Who is a prepper? What is the mindset of a prepper?

A prepper is a person who likely holds some, or all of the following traits:

The prepper is somewhat skeptical, doubts the status quo and maintains some degree of skepticism of what is being said or portrayed as fact.

Very likely to be more independent minded rather than automatically following the crowd.

Someone with a degree of common sense and logic, and able to apply that thinking in thought, conversation, and decision making.

Open minded enough to see and recognize the dangers that are out there in the world.

Understands the fragility of society and the fact that there are many potential threats in the world today that could severely disrupt life as we know it.

A prepper knows that a ‘job’ is not guaranteed.

A prepper recognizes that the borrow-and-spend mentality will ultimately fail, and in fact has already broken.

The prepper is someone who recognizes ‘the system’ for what it is, an intertwined and interdependent political-media-socio-corporate mechanism designed to control and keep people in place, so the machine can be ‘fed’ with their labor and monies.

Does not depend on government to take care of them, even in the event of disaster. Knows that government will not possibly be able to assist in any timely manner of a major or even minor disaster.

Someone who takes action.

A person who values life and has a natural and strong desire to protect.

Respectful of others, and their property. Expects the same in return.

Someone who may have already experienced civil breakdown and realizes that the thin line between civilized society and chaos is real.

Understands the value of food and water. Knows that the human will die without water in just a matter of 3 – 7 days, and will similarly not survive without food for a bit of time beyond that.

The Prepper sleeps better at night with peace of mind and adequate preps.

Political leanings? Probably more Libertarian, whether it is realized or not.
