Everyone is a Prepper

Everyone is a prepper, whether they realize it or not.

Some are "Doomsday Preppers", getting themselves ready for "The End Of The World As We Know It", often acronymized as TEOTWAWKI.

Some, like myself, are what I call "Simple Preppers".  We feel it's smart to have a reasonable supply of food and other supplies in case natural disaster cuts off goods and services for a time.  How long varies by each person, having grown up in "Earthquake Country" I feel having anywhere up to 2 years worth of supplies isn't outrageous. Many articles have said it could take that long (or longer) to repair infrastructure after a major quake. I don't keep that much as I would leave the area as soon as I could if the infrastructure was that badly damaged.

Others keep the 3 day supply FEMA recommends and figure they'll be rescued by then. Trusting souls, aren't they?

Even if you don't think of what you'd need in case of an emergency event, I bet you're a prepper in other ways. Do you have a retirement plan? You're prepping for your "golden years". Do you have investments? You're prepping for future unknown events, whether good or bad.

No supplies, no retirement, no investments, no plans? You're prepping to fail.

So you see, everyone is some type of prepper.
