Here are 24 signs that you might be a closet prepper:
- You’ve had a survival blog for 4 years and your spouse doesn’t know.
- Your family does not know there’s a case of Dinty Moore stew hidden in the basement
- You stand around the office water cooler laughing with your buddies about all those tin-foil hat wearers – but you have your own roll of Reynolds Wrap at home.
- You’re an anonymous poster on Infowars.
- While you were supposed to be grocery shopping, you were checking out escape routes out of the city.
- You’ve got a Swiss Army knife on your keychain that looks like a roach clip, instead of a roach clip that looks like a Swiss Army knife.
- You’ve read The Turner Diaries with a flashlight under the bed covers, so now you think you know what’s coming.
- You download Steve Quayle’s podcasts to your i-pod so you can listen to him on your way to work, alone.
- You anonymously put your spouse on a mailing list for wilderness vacation spots.
- You’ve got a browser bookmarks folder named “Recipes” that includes links to Survival Blog, Preparedness Society Forum, the Economic Collapse Blog, Survival Mom, and Surviving Survivalism.
- You’ve told your in-laws that the camping equipment in the garage is because you love the great outdoors.
- You’ve convinced yourself that you like the taste of freeze-dried storage foods.
- You play the video game, Half-Life II to practice what you will do when chaos breaks out.
- Doomsday Preppers is your favorite TV show, but you have to TiVO it so you can watch it when your family is out of the house.
- You’ve asked a survivalist group to try to convince your spouse that prepping is a good idea.
- Your family thinks you’ve become a religious fanatic, but every Sunday morning you are really taking trips into the wilderness.
- You tell your wife the gas mask you bought is to spark up your sex life – you’d rather have her think you’re a pervert than a prepper.
- You run a large “off-grid” website from your London apartment, but you tell your friends it’s just for the monthly Google Analytics check.
- You tell your neighbors that you bought a HumVee for its gas mileage.
- You visit different survival communities every weekend, telling your girlfriend/boyfriend that “It’s just a free camping weekend!”
- You’ve built a house out of rocks deep in the woods while your wife/husband thought you were taking philosophy classes at the local college.
- While you are in the bathroom getting ready for work, you day dream about leaving society behind and living the self-sufficient life.
- You pray that company doesn’t want to stay overnight, because if you open the sofa bed they’ll see all your Survival magazines.
- You’re just waiting for the day when you can say, “See? I told you!”

I recommend keeping canned goods and water in your auto. Empty beer cases work well. You can slide them under the seats. I use boxes in the back of my suv for water. I do not care what others think.
that sounds like a smart person
Okay, I’m a closet prepper. I said yes to at least 7 of those. and that is a good idea. I also make my kids do the same in their cars.
I didn’t see weapons and ammo mentioned anywhere! Without those, your prepper supplies are just a warehouse for those WITH weapons and ammo. “Minorities” we know who I’m talking about, do not have a plan for an eventual problem that we believe is coming, their plan is to rob, loot, rape and pillage (include rape for fun) their way across suburbia.
As a “minority” who has been actively planning for catastrophic events I can’t help but chuckle at SKIP’s oh so familiar glaring white fear. I am already adept at wilderness survival skills, foraging, wildcrafting, shelter construction, and know the medicinal and edible plants of my bioregion well. There is enough abundance provided freely in the wilderness that my family will be running as far from surburbia as possible because there will be simply nothing left of it after it gets picked clean of food. Your family could be just as easily raped by a bunch of white suburbanites with more weapons and larger numbers.
