It's a term for people that are preparing for some kind of Troublesâ„¢ - stockpiling booze , cigarettes and ammunition type crowd.

I remember the term being used a lot on a couple of boards back in 1999.

Just speaking for my own stupid opinions, I don't see too many legitimate "Preppers" finding this to be a real attractive opportunity, it is sort of contra-indicated by the nature of the beast.  Someone inspired to proselytize about the need to do it may come forward, but God knows how freaky THAT will turn out looking after full video editing.

I spoke with Jessica at the network. It seems legit. They are willing to provide some confidentiality (name, address, city, etc) She asked why I'm "Prepping". I told her MY reasons. She did ask for pictures of what I had on hand as far as survival needs. She also stated that there would ultimately be a dry run to show how well or not I'm prepared. I'm a little hesitant of providing pictures, but who knows??

After doing a Google search, that seems to be the consensus around the net.

I would be pretty boring. All I do is cut and stack firewood so my wife won't get cold and squeal about it.
