The Preppers Lingo

        I am a new Prepper. I have found it very hard to understand the short hand acronyms that the Prepper community uses. It was hard to do my research and learn how to become a Prepper. I also found it hard to talk to other people that are Preppers. So I came up with a list of everything I could find to help with this problem. I might not have them all, but here is some important ones.
