More and more people are getting into "prepping" as concerns over our economic future rise. It's easy to do, but it's also easy to do wrong. This article from The Epoch Times sheds some light.
Something has always puzzled me about preppers. Why rely on an isolated farm anywhere East of the Mississippi River? There are over a hundred nuclear power plants located East of the Rockies. If some natural disaster took out our culture, nuclear war, meteorite impact, pandemic, super volcano eruption, etc., who will be spending the next 10 years inside the nuclear power plants trying to turn them off and keeping the used fuel rods under water?
And if our government simply collapsed out of shear incompetence, again, who will be spending the next 10 years inside the nuclear power plants trying to turn them off and keeping the used fuel rods under water?
The preppers living in isolated farms will all be down wind of several abandoned nuclear power plants that will make Fukushima and Chernobyl look like a bad smog day. And those preppers exiting their bunkers, after one or two years, will be ankle deep in highly radioactive fallout.
The first thing anyone who decides they want to be a prepper should ask is, where are the nuclear power plants? And then, after they learn that the wind in North America blows from the West to the East, they will move West. Up wind.
