A prepper is someone who prepares for emergencies such as Hurricanes, flood or just a layoff etc. A beginner might have 3 days worth of food in their house an experienced prepper is usually trying to make their home self sufficient for a period of time usually around a year.
Preppers know that emergencies happen and its good to be ready. Sometimes it allows you to help someone in need.
Prepping is fun and empowers one. It means you have discovered the possible dangers in your area and are trying to get to the point that you feel confident you can outlast the incident. Power outages would not effect us as we are off grid but what if someone looses power for weeks. Would be nice to have a plan.

OK thanks - I didn't know we had a special name for that, guess I figured it was just common sense. Actually, growing up my parents were teachers so my first thought was you all went to the same prep school!

So if you live in the sun belt are you a hot prepper, and if you're new are you a green prepper?
