There are many who don't believe that any sort of doomsday scenario will ever occur with in their lifetime. But the doomsday or end of world scenario alone is not the only reason to do a little prepping.   There are reasons which are a little more mainstream and may even make a little more sense even to those of you who don't believe in prepping.

  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?

Raising livestock, poultry and growing your own garden was a lifestyle, not a hobby. A recent survey found that over half of all Americans have less than a three day supply of food in their homes. Many people have no emergency supplies, not even a first aid kit.   A prepper is anyone who is concerned about not being a helpless victim in case of an emergency.
