You Might Be a Prepper If

I was recently inspired to write my own top 25 ”You might be a Prepper if” list, enjoy!

You might be a Prepper If…

you own more guns than pairs of shoes
you look at your child’s new stuffed animal as a place to stash extra cash
you think expiration dates are for weenies
you have at least two hidden caches you won’t even tell your spouse about
your birthday wish list includes MOLLE gear, night-vision goggles, and more bullets
the term OPSEC brings a smile to your face
you scowl at your neighbor and his new Mercedes
you think everyone is out to get you
you KNOW everyone is out to get you
your garden is bigger than your lawn and you’re proud of it
you would rather build more shelving for your supplies than watch Sunday night football
you’ve contemplated which neighbor you would have to shoot first TEOTWAWKI+1
you’ve ever considered renting a backhoe just to dig a moat around your homestead
you think buying an RV just to park it on a rural parcel of land is a good idea
you think rainwater catchments are fun
you’ve spent more time tinkering with your solar system than playing with your kids
you think turning off you electricity and water constitutes family fun night
the phrase beans, bullets, and band-aids brings tears to your eyes
you keep buying more kerosene lanterns because you forget you already have a dozen
you dread putting up groceries because your pantry is about to explode
you’re happy because your pantry is about to explode
your kids can shoot better than you can
you think SHTF (or WROL) is a four-letter word
you view your ipod as a means of storing survival podcasts

and the number one reason you might be a Prepper…

you view an economic collapse as a minor inconvenience!
