Why the hate on prerppers in this comment section? It sounds kinds fun tbh, and the skills of living in the woods are useful even outside of apocalypse.

Because a lot of them are far right nutjobs.

I’m not hating on all preppers, one of my partners is one. She has a massive food garden, quite a few guns (though that’s largely because her ex is armed and violent), and cultivates skills useful in dangerous situations, such as woodwork and textile work. That’s not the judgement.

The judgement is for the ones who openly fantasize about city folk dying in a disaster and dream of using their hoarded food to buy human beings.

Do you think it has anything to do with, like, the entire text of what I posted above?

In hindsight it doesn't feel like it was a proper SHTF moment. Some of the early reactions did make it feel like one but in the end not that much happened where I live. Try to stay away from people for a while and use a mask seemed like the extent of it. Spent a lot more than outdoors than I usually do.

Nothing that doesn't knock out power or wipe out humans quickly on a wide scale will qualify for an apocalypse, and thus only annoy preppers.
