What Some Preppers Groups Do When Faced With Disaster

By Iva Cannon


People get some funny ideas all of the time. Many of these ideas have a grain of truth that makes them very serious and foreboding. One of these is the idea that the government may be coming after them for one reason or another. They will store up a lot of food, water and guns. They will create dug out holes with walls and floors as well as a roof and man them with rifles and plenty of ammunition. These people go by many names and one of the nicest is probably preppers groups.

Sometimes these people see natural disasters as a reason to pull themselves away from the larger world and become grouped together. Most of the time this is just a family and other times it is more than a family that gets together to defend themselves. The number of people getting together does not matter. They support each other with mutual respect.

The planning that goes into many of these groups can amaze an outsider, if they are ever to see it. Many of them will set up fairly elaborate systems of getting water into their compound or structure. Literally all of them will have gas powered generators. All of them will have bottled water if they do not have anything else. This water will be sanitized by certain chemicals to allow it to be stored for long periods.

There will be a lot of food. A good portion of their storage space will be taken up by dehydrated food that can supply them with all the subsistence they need for many months if not a year or longer. High in the carbohydrates and proteins they need for that active lifestyle they believe they are in for.

Trying to get into one of these groups after they have established themselves will not be easy. By their very nature, they want to protect what is theirs and expect others to do the same. Their rations, stored goods and safety and hunting or defense measures and tools are for them and they do not feel the need to share very much.

Many of these groups are also second amendment believers, which is, certainly, not against the law. Some of them will take this too far. Those will be militant to a large degree and will defend themselves, often, at danger of being discovered and caught. These are those who believe, honestly, that the government wants to confiscate guns and ammunition.

The ones who are not as militant, but still respects the second amendment are more open about their dealings. They will, however, still be secretive about everything going on in their compound or house or other structure they are using. This is to keep private what they need to keep close by and letting people in will only endanger that.

These groups, no matter where you find them, have a very definite purpose in mind. They may tell you and they may not. Their main purpose is to prepare for something, something big and they have their own group to protect, so outsiders can fend for themselves, just as these groups do. Give them a wide path and they will stay out of your business so they will not attract unnecessary attention.
