Imagine that...they sould like regular people.

I must say that I greatly prefer the "prepper me" to the old me. First and foremost my level of fitness has increased dramatically (since part of prepping is looking to one's fitness).

We rest much better around here now that we're better prepared to deal with break-ins and such.

Of course there's the nice sense of security one feels when one has just stored away enough food to feed the family for another month.

I just got off the phone with a fellow prepper planning to slaughter our first wild hog at his place next Saturday (provided he gets a good shot).

A couple of us are just starting up rural machine shop, which is also part of the picture of self-empowerment.

Next on my list is to learn ham radio.

And I wouldn't trade the great new friends I've made through my local prepper group for anything.
