I have been a "prepper" for many years. It is not something I share with the masses, so I don't get a lot of funny looks or comments. It does not take much to prepare for an emergency situation, but most people don't bother either because they believe that nothing will ever happen or that the government will be able to take care of them in such an event.
I always suggest that each family keep a years worth of dry food and very basic supplies in the event of a pandemic or breakdown of society. If several families can do this and band together, they will probably do better than those who go it alone. Anyone with a yard should learn to garden and practice basic gardening and canning skills. A lot of people survived the Great Depression by doing that, and sometimes it feels like we are heading toward another one.
