Today, they say “prepper” and laugh at you. Tomorrow, they’ll say “hoarder!” and attack you. (and I pray it doesn’t come to that...)

Which brings up the important lesson -- If you do it don't tell anybody about it. Sooner or later they will figure it out when you are not starving and they are, but at that point physical strength and potent weapons will give you the advantage to overcome the anarchy and the mayhem. Don't worry about dying in the calamity, worry about surviving it.

**If you do it don’t tell anybody about it.**

Every now and then, when talking with a friend, or even during a conversation with a stranger (at gun shows for instance), if the subject comes up, I say, “I probably should get a few things..”. If they volunteer their info on their stash, I tell them, “Well, now I know. Who else already knows?”

I'm sure the government already has a list of everyone who's ever posted on a prepper site and their home already marked on a map. “The worst-case end result would be a Third World War, mass inflation, currency collapses, and long term power grid failures.”

Every day, it's shaping up to just that.
