Michael Mabee
“We are not preparing for the world we live in - we are preparing for the world we find ourselves in.”
― Michael Mabee, Prepping for a Suburban or Rural Community: Building a Civil Defense Plan for a Long-Term Catastrophe

“A prepper is prepared to live through a disaster; a survivalist lives as a man, regardless of whether a disaster happens or not.”
― Mike Klepper
