Preppers Prepare For Disaster

Devastation and destruction are not things anyone wants to think about. In fact people see it happening all over the world, but they very rarely prepare for it because believing it won’t happen to them. However there is a serious movement in the United States who take preparing for disaster as seriously as they do heart attacks.

Labelled ‘Preppers’ for obvious reasons, this large group of people scattered all across the country, have assembled everything from gun collections, fully-stocked bunkers, a swimming pool full of fish, to self-sustaining farms, seed banks and escape plans from the cities. Everything from hardwearing safety clothing and rigger boots to personal documentation kits are stowed away in bunkers and basements, as part of disaster survival preparation.
