I'm a prepper and, at one point, I never understood the answer to this question myself. My line of thinking: if there are preppers out there like me who are preparing for doomsday, they must be extremely misguided.

History Channel’s “Alone” Survival Gear Lists – Season 3
Okay so last year we were busy when History's Alone began to air. Didn't get un-busy (thanks to our cross-continental move) until well after it finished airing. We caught up to Season 2 really late and didn't have time to publish an article about it, but this year, we're back into the swing of things. Now onto the massive lists, taken from History's individual pages for each person and put ...
