She forgot the first rule of prepping - S T F U.
Having forgotten this rule, or perhaps, trying to make a buck or three on her 'prepness', she became a target.
My FIL, who lived in Utah, never bothered to do more than put up the output of his garden that wasn't consumed right away.
I asked why he didn't have more put away and his answer was both accurate and frightful.
While in the Philippines during WWII and later, in Occupied Japan he observed at what the neighbors didn't steal, the Gov't took as "Taxes".
I really get a laugh from folks with massive amounts of food, fuel and so on. Do they really think that The Man won't be there to collect, with the rest of the ants not far behind?
Robert Heinlein once famously said
“Never own more than you can carry in both hands at a dead run.” Given that RAH 'invented' survivalist fiction, he should know of what he speaks.
Explain the logistics of that to me, for here in the States.
You can use numbers like 320M citizens, 2.8 million active and reserve military members, less than 2 million LEOs. I'm not afraid of the math. I'm a cook, I've done logistics.
The Japs were heavily armed, the Philippines weren't.
So explain those logistics without a handwave.

You seem to have difficulty thinking logically. However, as you wish, don't store anything and perhaps you will be one that chooses suicide by prepper. Preppers know they don't own it unless they can defend it.
