Have you ever heard of preppers?

They are people who are preparing for emergencies, disasters, and survival situations.

The scope of preparedness is large and up to the prepared individual, ranging from simple power outages to apocalyptic events.

Prepping is apparently a largely American activity, and a recent one.

Companies that cater to people who want to be self-reliant for food, water, and power have grown their revenue by about 700 percent over the last decade, and prepper products are becoming more and more popular.

But what exactly are preppers preparing for?

In this blog post, we will explore the different reasons why people become preppers, and what they are preparing for.

What Are Preppers Preparing For?

Preppers are getting ready to be self-reliant regardless of the challenges that life may throw their way.

They take reasonable steps to prepare for the future while also making time to enjoy the present.

While some preppers are preparing for “The End of the World as We Know It” (TEOTWAWKI) or the great Zombie Apocalypse, the vast majority of preppers are just getting ready to take care of their families regardless of the circumstances they may find themselves in.

They are preparing for events that are fairly likely such as natural disasters, power outages, and financial challenges which are just a part of everyone’s lives.

They are self-reliant and want to be able to take care of themselves and their families in case of an emergency.

The Public Image of a Prepper

To the extent that one exists, the public image of a prepper is of someone who’s getting ready for the collapse of society, at which point money and electric grids, along with all the things that depend on them, will become unavailable.

Preppers are ready to purify water to drink, hunt and butcher for food, and defend their homes from looters.

They are often portrayed as paranoid and extreme, but in reality, most preppers are just regular people who want to be prepared for emergencies.
