In the latest podcast episode, we tackle a crucial issue for those in the preparedness community: dealing with “predatory preppers.” These individuals don’t stockpile or plan to sustain themselves long-term; instead, they prepare with the intention of taking from others. Here’s how to recognize them and tips on protecting yourself.

What is a Predatory Prepper?

To start, let’s define the term. A “predatory prepper” is someone who invests time and energy into skills or resources primarily aimed at taking supplies from other people in a crisis. Instead of stockpiling food, water, or essentials, they might build up weaponry and tactical knowledge, intending to exploit those who are better prepared. Because they focus on what others have rather than what they need themselves, they’re often unprepared for long-term survival without their “targets.”

Recognizing and Defending Against Them

In many cases, these individuals tend to be less disciplined or resourceful. However, they don’t want to put in the hard work of actual prepping and are often complacent, hoping to take an easier route by exploiting others. Thus, one major advantage for well-prepared individuals is that predatory preppers are often not well-equipped to launch sustained attacks. Furthermore, basic defensive measures like secure locks, alarms, and even visible deterrents can make them think twice.

The Importance of a 24-Hour Guard Duty

In times of crisis, maintaining security becomes essential. A 24-hour watch rotation is a practical way to ensure someone is always on the lookout, which can discourage predatory behavior. Having trusted individuals assigned to a rotating guard duty not only provides protection but also adds peace of mind. You can effectively deter those with predatory intentions by staying vigilant and organized.

Consequently, understanding how to identify and defend against predatory preppers can be a valuable part of your survival plan. Listen to the episode to learn more about protecting yourself and your resources!
