WHAT IS A PREPPER?

In America today, there are millions of 'preppers' that are working feverishly to get prepared for what they fear is going to happen to America. They are storing up food and trying to convince people that we are on the verge of 'the end of the world as we know it'. A lot of preppers like to keep their preparations quiet, but everyone agrees that the prepper movement is growing. Some estimate that there are four million preppers in the United States today. Others claim that there are a lot more than that. In any event, there are certainly a lot of preppers out there. So exactly what are all these preppers so busy preparing for?
