[quote=Anonymous]I know a few and would qualify as one but only if you used a really loose definition.  Like, for instance: one family has a panic room, extra guns/ammunition in each house, whole house generators, and water storage + purification tablets.  But, they don't have stockpiles of shelf-stable food, a garden or chickens or any way to get food like that, or even an extra freezer.

Another family does the family homestead thing with a garden, chickens, some canning, and dad hunts.  They could stay fed for a while and have at least some basic weapons, but no water or medicine set back for emergencies.

We have a big garden, the ability to hunt, extra freezer full of meat, lots of shelf-stable food (and canning supplies) and a reasonable though not TLC-worthy supply of paper goods.  We also have storage for water so if a hurricane or something was coming we could "prepare" for a situation where we'd be on our own for a week or less.  But we don't have medicine set by, any chickens or livestock, a surplus of guns/ammo, or water treatment.

Basically to be a real "prepper" you have to be really dedicated with your time, your money, and your lifestyle choices.  No one I know is on that level, but I know a lot of people who have made a choice here and there with an eye toward bad times.[/quote]
