About Applied Paranoia
“Paranoia is just having access to all the facts.”
The Unknown Prepper
Call me a prepper, call me a survivalist, call me a lunatic – it doesn’t matter. What I am is a husband, a father, an average American guy trying to plot a course through an America that isn’t the same as the one my parents handed to me, and the one I came of age in.
I started waking up about seven years ago, and I’ve gone through most of the natural stages of adjustment. It started with terror, leading to concentration on acquisition of the three Bs – bean, bullets and bandaids. I’ve progressed into seeking the fourth and fifth Bs – brains and building community.
