Why do people brag about or pretend that they're going to get into prepping but focus only on a few boxes of ammo and milsurp but will scoff at food, water, and medicine?

Because they're fucking retarded? Like the people with all the MRE's and bottled water and fish antibiotics and no TP for their bunghole?

Because preppers are living non-ideal lives and believe that if EVERYONE else goes to shit they'll finally claim their rightful place on the top of the scrap heap because two boxes of 5.56 can make up for not having a personality.

Also buying things appeases their prepping desire because learning trade skills and leadership has less emotional payoff for the amount of effort input.

Bugout bags to leave dodge are what you need. Any "doomsday" prepping that doesnt involve animal husbandry skills, agriculture, and irrigation is a waste of time.

Also a world without 24 hour electricity, running hot and cold water, antibiotics, and vaccinations isnt worth living. Nevermind fighting off the mutant rape cannibals.

Merrel's are unironically good though. I've been abusing a pair of waterproof moab mids hiking 6+miles 2-4 times a week for over a year now. The rocks have taken some chunks out of the tread but they are still going. I'm on a mission to see how far I can push them.

Killing mutant rape cannibals is the only thing that would make that kind of world worth living in, though.

I am talking old school magazines. You think there will be internet in shtf?

Food, water and medicine don't play into the most exciting/"fun" parts of their SHTF fantasies. They're prepping for The Walking Dead, not Threads.

I don't need porn I have Jesus good sir.

MREs usually have shit tickets in them

>Also a world without 24 hour electricity, running hot and cold water, antibiotics, and vaccinations isnt worth living.

Weak pampered bitch boys like you will die first

Some people are normal, functioning members of society who recognize that prepping is just a fun hobby and not an autistic obsession.

This.

yall know he never existed right? at least porn you know some one got fucked for realzies

Funny what the non believers think. Shit, Jesus lights my way so much, I don't even need a light on my AR any more.

I don't know any preppies with an adopted black kid. The whole wife's son thing is deluding this.

So he like jerks you off spiritually, or what?

Yes.

By single 5.56mm through the roof of my mouth.

Bitch boys like you will live to the ripe old age of 30 as slaves to REAL hard men who will rape your wife and daughter in front of you.

Merrells are fucking great tho

Being a mutant rape cannibal is the only thing that would make that kind of world worth living in.

>a world without running cold water
It's called a river you fucking idiot

yeah, US MRE's that have an accessory packet (i think all of them do) have an issued butt ration

If our immune systems and gut bacteria hadn't be fucked by generations of antibiotics I would agree with you.

boil that shit nigga

it isn't that, it's the farm run off and cattle shit everywhere that fucks up our water. our immune system was never built for that. we've also been cooking our food for 50,000 years, which benefited us, but changed the natural selection process regarding our immune systems

>he doesn't cook his water

That's hot water. We want cold water.

Dig a root cellar, place water inside. Wait.

>Also a world without 24 hour electricity, running hot and cold water, antibiotics, and vaccinations isnt worth living.
i've lived without all these at the same time and it's fine. it's why i keep hard copies of books and plenty of stored water. the cities can burn into chaos ill just keep sitting at home growing my own food only missing the shitposting on k

Doomsday Prepper or no, I have about 6 bulk packs of Charmin in my garage and I always have a roll in my car trunk.

I fucking hate when businesses or public restrooms that use 1 ply toilet paper that requires you use half the roll to not get shit on your fingers and the cheap 2 ply that is rough as sandpaper and makes your ass bleed.

I've got 10 acres and a nice creek and pond behind my house. If SHTF I'm just going to become a potato farmer like my ancestors. No need to stock up on bullshit in the meantime.

As for ammo and guns...I really do feel like some people go over board and get 5,000 rounds of each caliber leads to not being able to transport any of it in case of SHTF should they need to relocate.

Honestly 3,000 rounds of every caliber you use is enough.

In all ways but physical I am potato.

Basically keep 1,000 rounds in deep storage, 1,000 rounds in a cache or resupply point and then have 1,000 rounds that you actively use and replenish regularly.

Maybe split up the 1,000 round resupply points as two 500 round cache locations.

>Why do people brag about or pretend that they're going to get into prepping but focus only on a few boxes of ammo and milsurp but will scoff at food, water, and medicine?

Find me one (1) person who does this.

Because they are LARPers who want to play fallout IRL.
Permaculture people are the real preppers. Ammo when SHTF will be plenty full, you can pick it off of the dead bodies of all the preppers who died of botulism and dehydration

Computers work just fine without the internet you retard.
Portable fucking hard drives are what you want. Much more useful

Why would you brag about prepping? If/when SHTF that would just make you a target. Only tell people you trust to stick with you when the time comes

Don't forget
>salt

Fucking salt is important as fuck. Salt ran the god damn world 2000 years ago. It was traded, it was compared to a man's worth, and wars were fought over it. Salt lets you preserve meat for later, which, especially in north America's harsh winters, will be a god send.

If you're a prepper and you don't have a literal shipping container packed with salt, you're going to die.

I live near a state DOT yard. They've probably got at least 100 tons of salt on hand at any given time. I'll just steal some of their shit.

Because it's just a hobby. They don't actually think the world is gonna end they just like the hobby
Don't be a gatekeeper

i was a guide and used a pair for a year and a half on a rotation of 8 days on three times every two months. while using them as a casual daily walker for a year + before that. they held up until the end. merrel is for sure my go to boot now, i dont see myself buying another brand

But you can watch porn on your computer with out using already limited power.

Yes, especially for a phone. Much easier to bug out with

>MREs
>needing TP

All you need is a stick to bite down on to keep your screams from giving away your location as you lay the perfectly solid, rock-hard brick of solidified shit. Maybe a little gauze to mop up the blood.

My grandfather was big in prepping, everyone had to have backpack with 4days worth food/water.
every other month he’d show up and we’d have drills where we’d grab our bags and bug out into forest, I’d carry a ruger 6 and 10/22 since was youngest brothers had 1911s shotguns and leveractions.
we’d hike all day to cabin once there we roughed it for a week he’d teach new skill each time would be gardening or how to build a hut that would last you through the winter simple knife making skills and a million other survival skills.
I’d like to think if shit truly hit the fan my brothers and I will find our way to the cabin with little to no effort

I have been hiking and backpacking for 25 years. i never bring more than 3 liters of water with me. i only bother boiling if the water looks nasty and isnt from a running source. i have never been sick from water inthat time.
ive also been to mexico like 10 times and always drink the water / ice and have never been sick. people are fucking pussies

Jokes on you, meth heads have been living in that cabin and filled it with poop and needles, its a toxic biohazard now.

This is equivalent to someone saying their hobby is playing big buck hunter at the lobby of their local movie theater and then telling people they would be totally self sufficient in finding food.

Just say you enjoy the thrill of going to walmart and buying coghland brand stormproof matches on your way home from work on payday. it's more respectable to be honest

didnt you post this exact same text a week ago?

Stop eating so much you fatass

Maybe for you. I live in filth for this reason.

You won't have electricity you idiot

The bags of "water softener" at hardware stores are 3 dollars for 50 lbs of non-iodized NaCl.

>noniodized

Enjoy your early death

>survive the nukes falling.
>live long enough to get killed by thyroid cancer at 80.
how is this a problem?

>80.
Who wants to get that old? People shouldn’t live past 50.

??????
so you woud just kys on your 50th.
you dont live to get older?

because that shit's gay and boring you retard

Prepping for a few weeks worth of power outage is common sense. Being able to camp in style (under many conditions car camping with the senpai, ultralight hiking solo, hunting with buds) isnt a bad hobby. I tend to camp in woods that have big critters and rogue meth camps. Being comfortably armed is a requirement not paranoid LARPing just another tool.

>shitting in public restrooms
no, never.... ever. not even a pajeet, just find public bathrooms fucking nasty

Wipe my ass you heartless fuck. RUUUDDY?!

Because nobody else will think of scavenging bodies.

Fucking this. My lord nothing binds me up like a fucking mre. The closest ive ever come to taking a normal shit after eating in the field for even 2 days had the consistency of hard riverbed clay....

how would prepping all that food and medical supplies help during an earthquake or mudslide or fire that destroys your house and all ur preps. some preppers only care about being ready to get to safety not "buggin in and going off the grid MAAAAAAN" larping faggots.

My GF. Out of shape and couldn't carry her bug out bag. No food or water stocked up, but has plenty of ammo and guns.

I certainly don't know any. I'm fairly well off at this point. I have a decent job and live with my GF in a house I own. I have food for a month, water for a few weeks, and a means to clean additional water. I keep TP and medicine on hand for any "outages" and am planting a fruiting garden in my back yard in a few weeks. It's a fun game to think of a Book of Eli or The Road type encounter but I'm more concerned with a realistic few days to a month of lost utilities. I have enough gas for the generator to keep the fridge and the deep freeze cold and enough food in them that it's worth doing so.

The joke is preppers are memeing LARPers, and I'm sure there are some, I just don't know any. I don't participate in any prepping community, I just keep extra stock on hand of the things I need and use. I think the hate in the OP is misplaced.

There is certainly no way some sort of emergency could affect fresh water in your AO.

I have an old USB powered 400gb external drive about the size of a deck of playing cards with MP3z and pr0n, an old bullet-proof Creative Zen media player with a 2" screen, and a USB solar panel. It's my TEOTWAWKI spank bank.

This is why people like you will die when shit actually hits the fan. You aren't resourceful enough to make yourself useful to yourself or anymore else. Part of my SHTF supplies are spare capacitors, breadboards, timers, etc because being able to repair electronics is an extremely useful skill.
