To identify a "fake prepper" one must have a definition of a "real prepper".

What is that definition?

And what separates a "fake prepper" from a "real prepper", a "good prepper" or a "bad prepper"?

To establish proof of being a "real prepper", or a "good prepper", one must demand the other party violate all the OPSEC principles advised in the thread and actually show some stuff and give some details.

Otherwise one is dependent on the magnificent bull$&!t presented around a campfire or in an internet forum.

sometimes you can detect a fake prepper from the BS he talks, if he talks enough-and most of them do- you can spot the lies easily enough.this is better accomplished face to face than on an internet forum.

MB made a good point!

what is a "real" prepper? what is a "fake" prepper?

just because one has a cache of food and water for 3+ years, and the other plans to rely on nature alone, does not put either into any category imho.

they just have different plans to survive.

categorising people and thier ideas, no matter how sensible or outlandish, no matter how big the plan, or how small the plan, is no better or worse than racism, sectarianism, sexism, ageism or any other discrimination you can think of.

when you start labelling and discriminating, you get in to dodgy areas.

local skirmishes, civial wars, world wars etc etc have all been started due to these issues!

Everyone is different, we should just accept that fact and treat every person we come across with caution regardless.

there is only 1 person in the world that i trust fully (and it's not even the OH!)
