What makes someone a REAL prepper?

I put the 55 gallon new water barrels in my basement.. They cost $100 here where I pick them up and bring them home...
I have the camper 12 volt water pump to pressurize the house for a while....then the simple solar pump that will work in my well to refill the barrels...
My roof catchment is only good for about 1000 gallons a year....when the snow melts.

As far as the cold keeping the riff raff out, take away the government handouts and get rid of the drug importers and the cold will finish off some of the rest..

Not too many tent cities where I am but folks are putting wood stoves in campers and motorhomes....

As far as gardening after the fall, we have some rich lowlands adjacent to lakes and rivers that will be useable....with 24 hour guard..

I can pick up 55g plastic barrels for $5-20 each. IBC 25-75.
I get $50 IBC’s at very sketchy “natural insecticide bottling facility” You can buy their product at any home improvement store.
Sketchy because behind locked gates and you would see people scattering like cockroaches if you yelled immigration.
Buy them there, because they held a blend of cinnamon, peppermint and other natural oils blend is pretty nontoxic. Smell pretty good as I am rinsing them out too.
