Your tone 🙄🙄🙄

Yes. I read it all. I particularly read this section here:

I don't know that the actions are the same though. That's sort of the point of the thing I posted. People like you are actually doing shit. What most people think of as 'preppers' are people who have a closet full of MREs, two giant jugs of water, and a massive guns and ammunition collection, people who tell you about how the world will end if Trump isn't elected and they're ready for it.

I think if those people were like you, even if they had stupid motivations, there wouldn't be so much derision. But they don't actually put the work in. They essentially think if they buy enough ammo and Jim Bakker rapture survival food buckets, they're ready for every eventuality.

Perhaps you are correct that the popular definition has changed, much like the Greeks (hilariously) changed the definition of egregious through their use of sarcasm. But your understanding is just plain wrong, you are incorrect. Your downvotes mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer.

I see no need to rebrand to conform to ignorance & lack of understanding. If you would like to learn more about prepping, here are some channels you can look into. I'd also recommend looking at the Facebook group, The Phantom Planters. It's prepping, kinda, but in a farming/growing way, whatever you want to call it. Perhaps you'll be inspired to plant some fruit trees around Indiana. 🙂

...and yes, the timing is embarrassing on my end because Canadian Prepper just announced last night that he is building a bunker. But he presents lots of good information otherwise. You'll probably like City Prepping more.
