Are You a Doomsday Prepper?

By Terrance Franklin


It is very challenging to feel any animosity towards Preppers because so many of their fears are justified. Everybody is having concerns that are both artificial and natural, plus the 'end of the world' is coming up. Do you find it an issue of the preppers being a little crazy? Who is to say beyond doubt because the economy is located at an all-time low, authorities aren't working now days and there's always the menace of war. This is only the manmade problems. How about the fact that wildfires are obliterating homes everywhere in the US or famine ruining crops so there is a reduced amount of food for almost any one?

Are Doomsday Preppers Far too Prepared?

Many people look at the extent that many preppers are going to. Some have brought in dried foods with 15 year shelf lives and have armed themselves to the teeth. They have weapons for every room of the house so they are never far from a firearm they can use for protection. Many have gas masks and bomb shelters in the event of a catastrophic war or natural disaster. They have a way out of their homes that will hopefully lead to safety regardless of the route they take. They are prepared or hope they are, for doomsday.

What about Non-Preppers?

Most non-preppers don't understand the mindset of the prepper. They think they are taking things to the extreme. Preppers on the other hand don't think non-preppers are taking things seriously enough. Non-preppers may not yet have been affected by unemployment, overthrown governments, food depletion or natural disasters. Some may believe they can shrug it off and expect things to get better. Doomsday preppers have as much trouble understanding why non-preppers don't take any action at all. They believe non- preppers are the crazy ones for not taking some measures to protect themselves and their families.

Why Believe in Doomsday?

A lot of doomsday preppers think that Christ will almost certainly return very soon and daily life is going to be completely different. On the very same note a lot of people believe that the anti-Christ will soon be in charge and that will be the end of life as you may know it at this moment. You can't say everyone studies the religious aspect though. Some preppers believe it has everything to do with the Mayan Calendar which runs out in 2012.

How about you?

Exactly what side would you tend to fall on? Will you expect life is going to change appreciably and we'll have to defend ourselves and guard ourselves? Think life continues along forever even though there could possibly be some tight predicaments we will all need to handle? No one knows with any conviction who is correct. It's possible that preppers know what they're doing. Given that they aren't harming anyone or breaking significant laws, they should be left alone to trust in what they demand. On the other hand there could be nothing to all of the talk of doomsday and no one needs to be that equipped. Only a doomsday prepper can determine whether they are a prepper or not. Not anyone on the planet really knows the actual result.
