Don't forget to tune into ABC Radio's Future Tense program this morning at 11.30 to listen to their latest feature story ... Meet the Preppers - www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/futuretense/meet-the-preppers---ep/5921250 Listen now Download audioEvery scout knows the value of being prepared. But for a growing subculture of so-called ‘Preppers’, preparedness has moved well beyond DYB, DYB, DOB, DOB. At the extreme, some are busy stockpiling armaments, food and clothing while awaiting an inevitable Armageddon: be it religious, economic, social, or ‘all of the above’. They’re the visible part of the Prepper story, but they’re not the whole story. Other more moderate souls see being better prepared for a possible misfortune as not only prudent, but a return to values of personal self-reliance and responsibility. Guests Tom Martin Tom Martin is the founder of the American Preppers Network, a network of blogs that inspires Americans to become more self sufficient. Rich Hungerford Rich Hungerford is an Australian based survival expert who runs Bushlore Australia, a wilderness survival school training people in survival techniques for when stranded in the bush and following disasters. Dr Irwin Redlener Dr Irwin Redlener is the founder and director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University's Earth Institute. Joycelyn Joycelyn is a prepper and owner/manager of the Big River Trading Co in Queensland. Dr Michael Shermer Dr Michael Shermer is a science writer and the founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine. He is also author of The Believing Brain, which looks at how the Brain constructs beliefs and reinforces them as truths.
