Prepper Hacks For Volcanoes
The psychotic world of “doomsday preppers” usually focuses on terrorists or a nuclear bomb. But this guy’s gone in a different direction, using a volcano as his trigger to live the fun fishing-and-camping life he desires. One of the reviewers praises the book for its knowledge on “how volcanoes work.” Buddy, if you don’t know what a volcano is, your solution is another trip through third grade, not this book.
Of course, the main problem with all of this is that the thought process behind “Prepping” is solipsistic: these people want something terrible to happen to the Earth so that they can quit their job and spend the rest of their existence chilling somewhere, eating basement rice and charging their phones by burning sticks in a tiny USB canister.
