  So you watch "Doomsday Preppers" on TV and you want to know how to go about becoming a prepper yourself. What are the 3 things you can do to start on your journey to be ready for an economic collapse? (Most preppers agree that an economic collapse is more likely than just about any other scenario that would qualify as "SHTF" (Sewage Hits The Fan").   First Step to Becoming a Prepper   The first "prep" that you want to take care of is food.
