<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mynamespat, post: 2738670, member: 83738&quot;]This is very quickly becoming one of those arguments where neither side actually comes out ahead.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t really expect much new or useful information from the get-go, but the conversation seems to be degrading very quickly.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I don&#039;t prep.&nbsp; I like to camp, hike, fish and hunt.&nbsp; Thus I sometimes see preppers.&nbsp; Normally, they are car camping in base camp, but occasionally I will see one on the trail.&nbsp; They are easy to spot in the back country because they are the one&#039;s with enormous backpacks full of unnecessary items. </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as hobbies go, I can think of many more frivolous.&nbsp; So I don&#039;t knock &#039;em.&nbsp; I really don&#039;t understand those who center their lives around prepping.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think any specific activity should completely define a person (this goes for music, coins, running, fishing etc - diversify your life, peoples).&nbsp; However, I believe those who have made prepping their sole essence are a minority.&nbsp; Most preppers probably fall into the weekend hobbyist type.&nbsp; It&#039;s just easier to make fun of the hardcore element.&nbsp; Let&#039;s be honest, extremism in any area is rarely a good thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
