You've never seen real, serious preppers. The real ones absolutely think about food production, water, livestock, waste management, energy, health care, etc. Many of them already practice what they prepare for by having productive gardens (as one example). You might not know that the person who grew the prize-winning squash at the local fair this year also regularly goes to Gunsite and has a solid grasp of wilderness medicine. The folks down the way who get their protein from hunting might not be hipster-hunters, but instead people who have already ingrained into their lifestyle traits that are handy if societal support structures break down. A surprising number of these "real" preppers are not politically motivated in the way some might think — I've met more than a few that have experienced "Life During Wartime" so to speak and simply don't choose to believe it can't happen here.
