what makes you think preppers from the us are thugs and not veterans themselves
Most of the preppers I've met are Klingon-level retards that were rejected by the US military.
One guy I knew who was in the Oath Keepers (a rural tinfoil hat militia thing) used to store his own piss in jars (in a bunker so the piss wouldn't get exposed to EM radiation). These dudes ain't in the real military for a reason XD
Kek. Alice and I are preppers. We don't store pee but we do have enough rice, beans, and lard to last a few months if need be. Also guns and ammunition, but not as much as we would like.
I think stocking up on non-perishables is sensible, particularly given the current zeitgeist. Also had a decent gun collection until a minor legal snafu lel
When I think preppers I guess I think of folk who are balls to the wall planning for the (usually weirdly specific) apocalypse
