Beware of the FAKE prepper!!

[Gizmo]

I haven't posted for a while but this thread tempted me to put finger to keyboard

I wish it was just "fake" preppers that were the problem but there are plenty of others that are just as bad.

You got more than a fair portion of the totally bat shit crazies, a good sprinkling of the macho man internet tough guys who keep posting about how tough they are going to be in their imaginary world, the good old fashioned armchairs who talk but do bugger all, and not forgetting the little wannabees who think their 2 weeks in the Cub Scouts qualifies them as some kind of survival expert

Disillusioned with Prepping ?

Not at all

Disillusioned with Prepping Forums and a lot of the idiots who inhabit them ?

100%

There are definitely some sensible preppers on these sites posting useful info, but having to sift through the mountains of garbage posted by complete imbeciles to find it just aint worth it

And while i'm on a roll, another thing or two that winds me up

I keep reading about how the general public think we are lunatics and weirdo's and posters wondering why that is. Take a look at some of the total bollocks that gets posted, there's your answer.

And a quick word for any new prepper who might read these sites, don't take someone's high post count on a prepping forum as an indication of how knowledgeable they are, a quick view of the forum will show that in a few particular cases that couldn't be further from the truth.

Hey, I dont know if SD will let this post survive but man it feels good to get that off my chest
