I started prepping in January 2007 during an ice storm when our power went out for 10 days. Until that event, we were very ill-prepared for a short-term event not mentioning a major long-term event.
Since then I have met other like-minded folks, some much more serious and prepared than I am. One thing I found out early on was the animosity that non-preppers have for preppers. Attitudes such as "If it gets that bad we'll just all go live with so and so." or "Those people are crazy and paranoid."
Well, who are the crazy people now? Fighting over toilet paper of all things.
I don't advocate having an escape tunnel from under your house, although that would be kewl. I suggest to people to prepare for at least 30 days of no electricity and heat and not being able to go to the store or better yet, not having to, and plan accordingly.
Once you've accomplished that, come back and see me you crazy people.
LOL.
