Am I a Prepper?

A wise young soul says my blogging rants don’t fit the Twitter generation but they might appeal to Preppers.

Does that make me a Prepper?  Nope.  At this stage (old) I’m an Observer.  I didn’t even know the meaning of the word “Prepper”.  Today, a Prepper is one who prepares for the coming Apocalypse.

So was I once a Prepper?  We were Preppers long before the word came into fashion.  Wood stove, food storage, well water and homemade everything.  The whole works.

How did it work out?  It didn’t.  The well water was full of mercury and our teenage offspring wanted out of the bush and into the action, just as we had before them.

If you never have children you will not likely have the sudden urge to hide from the world.

Strange as it may seem, there are still a few exceptionally bright youngsters today who go through a Prepper moment.  The symptoms:  They collect up camping gear, tents, flash lights, first aid kits, etc. and patiently try to explain why you should to do the same.

Don’t be alarmed.  They soon get over it.
