You Might Be A Prepper If...

...You've ever spent 30 minutes transferring boxes of Bisquick to Ziplock freezer bags.
...You've ever eaten top ramen and bologna for a week because AIM surplus finally got your favorite flavor of Mil-Surp Ammo in stock.
...You've ever color-coordinated and alphabetized your canned food supply.
...You have more .22LR ammo then your local gunshops and Wal-Mart.
...Your basement/garage/den has more then 25 buckets of beans/rice/wheat.
...Your local gunshop/surplus store's clerks greet you by name.
...You know more about coupon-clipping and food sale prices then your Mother.
...Your $500 laptop has nothing but G&G, AIM, GunBroker, and Craig's List on it's history and pics of your guns in it's memory.
...You have enough water purification tablets to purify Lake Erie, twice.
... Your cast-iron cookware collection threatens to collapse your kitchen's floor.
...You've ever been in 3 different Wal-Marts in the same day, just to check if they have any pistol ammo.
...You refer to ANY of your weapons as "Supremely Viable"
...Your gun-safe(s) has enough Russian rifles in it to qualify your house as a "Soviet State"




Feel free to add your personal "prepperisms", If we can't laugh at ourselves, what hope is there for us?

When the wife asks you why you are saving all the plastic spoon sets with napkins for.
When people say you sure got a lot of camping gear. I tell them it's for the big camp out coming.
When a gun purchase is solely dependent on how much ammo you can get for it.

When you buy groceries based on calories per serving,
and on the fact it needs no refrigeration!

(Hint: DON'T put you Smart Balance Natural Peanut Butter in the fridge - it gets HARD!)

When you shop at four different stores in one shopping trip, so 'they' don't see you stocking up on massive amounts of stuff at one place.

Hahaha!

When you buy your canned foods based on how good they tastes cold.

NO ONE has enough purification tablets to clean up Lake Erie. I'd eat the worms I fish with before I cooked my day's catch.
When you have more fireSticks than trees in your yard.

When you've stripped down the inside-rear of your Land Rover to make more room for "bug out" supplies.

When your refrigerator has several shelves dedicated to the "final dry" for beef and salmon jerky.

When the second freezer in your storage room is unplugged and used to store extra ammo/guns/gun supplies.

When you see spam on sale.... Your mouth begins to water.

When you believe corned beef hash is the "food-of-the-gods".

The sight and thought of fried mealworms makes you hungry.

No matter how great that fillet mignon looks on the store shelf, the only thing you can think of is how good the jerky will be when it's dried. (to the horror of your Wife).

You buy ammo weekly as avaliable.

When your kids see a cow in a field, the first words out of their mouths is: MEAT!

When the first thought going through your mind after passing a "road kill" is "how fresh is it?"

You're not horrified by the "fresh roadkill" thought.

You see someone with an MRE on T.V. and you're envious.

When you consider horses, dogs and cats as "food rations"

Your family thinks your joking about eating the pets, but you're not.

When you've tried "dried daphnia" fish food to see if it's a viable seasoning.

You are not repulsed at the thought of eating a dog biscuit.

You are not repulsed while eating a dog biscuit.

You are not repulsed by the fact that you want a second dog biscuit.

Hey those green dog biscuits aren't bad! Don't like the meat-flavored ones though.

Couple more......

You *KNOW FOR A FACT* that crows, old geese, gar and fresh water mussels from the river tastes like *CRAP*, but you will eat them anyway.

You've went through the trouble of clipping out the ribs in a snapping turtles shell to get to that tenderloin piece.

)guilty!(

If you are worried if you have enough dryer lint or belly button lint to start fires with.

Your yard landscaping takes into account "Defensive Fire Zones"!
Your long driveway is equipped with range flags.
Your wife's flowerbeds conceal edible veggies amongst the flowers!
Your decorative 'Koy Pond' is stocked with eating-sized catfish!
You have steel trash cans full of livestock corn in your outbuilding - and you have NO livestock.

You stockpile tons of lead in case you need to cast Bullets or cannonballs , so much in fact that the building it is in keeps sinking!
You have enough powder stored that if your workshop catches Fire you know you better be 5 miles away in a hurry !
You buy ammo cans by the pallet and then try to fill them !
You have at least 3 old timey radios in case of an EMP Attack...
You have at least 2 junk cars in case you need to Block your driveway.
You have 35 lb. bags of Grits , and 50 lb bags of rice stored with a ton of beans.
You save porcupine quills in case you need to make poison darts.
You watch re-runs of McGuyver to learn how to make a hand grenade out of a rubber glove , a twisty tie , and some vaseline....
You own enough fishing gear to open a Tackle shop...
You"ve ever wondered what a mouse burger is really going to taste like...

If you know EXACTLY how much sand is required to stop a .30-06,
If you have ever eaten coyote meat just to see how it tastes,
If you like coyote meat so much you keep 'yote jerky in your glove box.
