Real preppers, the ones you should look to for advice if you happen to be new to preparedness, are the ones who quietly conduct their daily lives with an eye toward readiness. Not only are these the qualities you should strive for yourself, but they are also the qualities that can help you to determine whether someone is the "real deal" or an armchair survivalist.
It's the small daily habits that become an innate part of our everyday lives - habits that may not even be noticeable to someone outside the lifestyle.
