Where the Gray Man Prepper Lives
You know that house two doors down the street on the right? The one you’ve driven past ten times every week since you moved in five-and-a-half years ago. The one that you can’t tell me what color the house is or the make and model of the car they drive…
Yeah! That house!
That’s the house of a Gray Man Prepper…
How Can You Tell The House Of A Gray Man Prepper?
If they’ve done their job right, you really can’t.
One in five houses in your neighborhood has solar power on the roof. Maybe the gray man does; maybe they don’t…
But they do have some sort of backup power supply for when disaster strikes. The Gray Man Prepper lives in a home that doesn’t advertise their emergency preparedness.
In today’s world, it’s likely that every home in your neighborhood has rain gutters. So does the home of the Gray Man Prepper.
Their home has rain gutters, but what you don’t know is that they took a couple of vacation days a few years ago and instead of going out of town, they installed 500 gallons of rainwater harvesting barrels while you were at work.
You use Amazon to buy purses, shoes, and some daily household items. The Gray Man Prepper also uses Amazon. Over the years they’ve ordered items like pool shock, emergency water bladders for their bathtub, toilet paper coins, first aid kits, and various other items that will be incredibly useful in an SHTF scenario.
But you can’t see any of these items from the street.
How Is The Gray Man Prepper Different From The Average Person?
It’s estimated that 1 in 10 households in the United States are preppers.
When you go to the movies, they watch old re-runs and pay an extra $50 toward their mortgage.
When you go out to dinner, the gray man prepper has dinner around their backyard fire pit and orders an extra two weeks of survival food.
When your family took a cruise last year, the gray man prepper and his wife invested in their survival skills and took a 3-gun firearms training class.
While you hire a landscaper, the gray man prepper practices and learns how to grow their own vegetables.
A Gray Man Prepper doesn’t have a sign in their front yard that says:
“I’m ready for SHTF.”
