All the 'preppers' in those TV shows and magazine articles are not preppers. They are simply nerds in need of attention, and wholly deserving of any mockery they receive. They are basically a wannabe Paris Hilton, only without the sex tape.

“All the ‘preppers’ in those TV shows and magazine articles are not preppers. They are simply nerds in need of attention, and wholly deserving of any mockery they receive.”

I have a differing opinion: Those people ARE preppers and many preppers mock them and that makes the prepper mockers just like the people who come on these threads and mock us.

I think it's not a good idea to be on TV, but I don't mock these people because I don't want to be like the ones who mock us.

It's like the mother yells at the child for doing something she didn't like, and the child, to vent his displeasure, kicks the dog. Someone kicks us on our threads, then we kick the TV preppers. I can't do that.

There are some preppers on that program that have “stuff” I wish I had. Some also have great locations. But, I still would not be on TV as that is too much exposure.
