About : who are called "the prepers" in the USA?

The apocalyptic prediction that the end of the world happen almost
imminently, Dec. 21, by an erroneous interpretation of the Mayan
calendar has focused attention on the movement "Prepper" or
survivalist, who are actively preparing to cope on their own any
emergency, from a natural disaster like a flood or the impact of a solar
flare into war, economic collapse, a pandemic or a nuclear explosion.
The phenomenon has become very famous in the US, where life is more
extreme, but there preparacionistas in Spain. Members of this group are
very diverse. For most, their motives are far from being fantastic or
pseudo-religious, do not believe the world will end in a certain date and
resent being mistaken for the more gullible. Some groups have their own
bunkers hidden by geography Spanish -as confirmed to ABC.es-, and are
ready to face the future self-sufficiently.

MISSION AND VISION

Preparing for an apocalyptic attack to the end of the world ... in short, to
survive as long as possible to inclement we have.
The most common practice is to build a bunker and stock up on water,
food and medicine for the whole family. Some of them think they do not
need to build any shelter, but be prepared with measures such as the
"72-hour pack" containing water, a radio, a knife, a map, equipment, etc.
Others choose simply to have a knowledge of the civil protection and
learn step by step how to act and protect themselves if things get
complicated for a while.

social collapse: Caused by a global economic crisis, the arrival of

extraterrestrial beings, downed power lines, the imposition of a new
world order, or a third world war, among others. Even with
unemployment, some people begin to take action Preppers.
Environmental disaster: Activated by earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic
eruptions, hurricanes, melting ice caps, food crisis, pandemics and
others.

Eyewitnesses or protagonistas

Bruce Beach (EE.UU. / Canad)

Bruce Beach, retired school teacher, is one of the

oldest preppers of America. From its headquarters in a
village near Toronto (Canada) directs an active
community of them organized under the acronym
SAFE (Safe America For Everyone). It built its first
bomb shelter during the Cuban missile crisis in the
60s and since then has been strongly concerned about
the possibility of total destruction. In the 80s I had a
wonderful idea: why not turn your hobby into a
business major? Then he built Ark Two, a labyrinthine
bunker consists of 42 school bus buried underground.

Each bus can be rented as an apartment and includes

a kitchen, shower and separate rooms for children and
adults. The Mayan apocalypse has come to him for
pearls. As explained to The Canadian Press, the
imminent end of the world has made its facilities are
filled, although he does not give much credence to the
prophecy and ensures that the real threat coming
from North Korea. However, this December 21 is not
the day for which it has received more applications:
11-S received 85,000 messages in just three hours.
Zhenghai

Lu

(China)

The Americans and Europeans are not the only ones

worried about a hypothetical Mayan apocalypse. As
the state news agency of China (China News Service),
Lu Zhenghai, a citizen of Northwest China, said he has
spent the savings of their entire life (around $
160,000) to build a boat that would protect flood that
he says will end the world on Friday. Its peculiar

Noah's Ark, designed by himself, is about 20 meters

long, 15 meters wide and weighs 80 tons.

Patrick Geryl (Belgium)

The writer Patrick Geryl takes several years insisting

on the idea that the world will end in 2012, not only
because they say the Maya but because, in his words,
a giant solar flare impact on Earth and destroy
civilization. Although Geryl presents himself as an

astronomer, his ideas have little to do with science,

something that has not prevented him from publishing
a book that explains how to survive the apocalypse,
How To Survive 2012. At least, leads by example. Took
refuge in a small bunker in South Africa and has spent
more than $ 130,000 in weapons, ammunition, water
purification tablets, canned food ... Everything you
need to re-colonize the land.

Michael Sanderson (United Kingdom)

"People ask me why I'm a Prepper" explained retired

British soldier Michael Sanderson told the Daily Mail.
"It baffles me that question. What I tell people is that
they do not understand why they are not. " Sanderson
believes that either the end of the world comes not
this Friday, is nearby. Therefore it has a secret haven
just 15 minutes from home, who will take his wife and
two children, with whom he has practiced several drills
evacuacin- if things get ugly. Sanderson decided to
prepare for an eventual tragedy to see what happened
in New Orleans after the impact of Hurricane Katrina.
In his opinion, the disaster does not have to be global,
but what happened in the United States, why will not
happen in England? What worries him most is that
after the disaster there are people who try to steal
their supplies. In that case, it is clear what to do: "I will
endeavor to avoid a deadly confrontation, but if we
end up in a situation where there are no laws that I
have to use force to defend my family."

Yang Zongfu (China)

Zongfu Chinese entrepreneur Yang, 32, is convinced

that another world to come sooner or later, and to get
rid of it designed a "anti-disaster" areas, which has
given the name of Atlantis. This is a huge steel ball
about four meters in diameter and three tons of
weight stored inside a personal cabin (with belt).
According to its creator, they could resist volcanic
eruptions, tsunamis, earthquakes and any nuclear
attack. In summer she made a public demonstration of
wit: he threw the ball, with him inside a ravine, he
caught fire and plunged into a pond. The invention is
priced at five million yuan (about 608,000 euros) and

to mark the Mayan apocalypse, has received more

than 20 orders.

Rober Bast (Australia)

Australian Robert Bast is the leader of the prepper

community in your country. Since its Survive 2012
website (which curiously has these days unbanner
advertising of a savings deposit) gives tips for
surviving the disaster and manages its community of
faithful. He explained to CNN, has spent more than $
350,000 in generators, food, water, gas burners and a
van with which to take his family to a safe haven that
has built away from the coast (about 500 meters
above sea level). What is not so clear Bast is what
unleashed the tragedy, "the sun may destroy the
electric grid, a pandemic flu appears, an asteroid, a
comet or a meteor crashing into the Earth or the pole
may be reversed magnetic Earth. "Whatever happens,
as stated in the last post of the web, better be
prepared.
