I have prepper leanings that I satisfy by knowing my neighbors, having multiple ways to start a fire, a good supply of bottled water, and enough shelf stable food for a few months. I keep enough gas in my car to get me to Canada, have an overnight bag with a change of clothes, toiletries, and my passport. I could go more into prepping, but this is where the balance lies between my anxiety (over being in multiple politically disfavoured groups) and my partner’s differently flavored anxiety (over getting things we don’t need.)
Same. I have all those items in a (mostly) constant state of ready to go if shit hits the fan.
It’s more like, I don’t expect a zombie apocalypse or a full warzone in my neighborhood, but if power goes out or water becomes unsafe or goes out, or whatever bullshit happens, I’ve got enough basic items to survive and not have to worry too much.
I have dried beans, rice, water and enough other things to be ok.
COVID showed us some of the insanity that can happen when just toilet paper ran out for a week or two. Imagine if food or electricity were unavailable that long.

Do you remember when rumor had it that fever reliever A made you more vulnerable to covid, so the stocks of fever reliever B were emptied?
We did lose power for a week and that both sucked and helped inform my preparations going forward.
Yeah exactly. You can prep all year long, but sometimes it’s the most silly and unexpected things. Wonder how many full “preppers” had enough TP? 🤣
