You are among the group who makes those outrageous comments about preppers as though preppers love it when someone gets in trouble without preps. No prepper I know has thirty days of canned food and enough guns and ammo to wipe out a small town in their car.
I am a prepper and have a prepared backpack in my car. It is INSURANCE and you bet I encourage people to have that insurance in their car. You have insurance on your house and insurance on your car, so why not have survival insurance for yourself in your car? It's not a big deal to do it, so why not?
When Rita was coming through Galveston and Houston and my town, highway 45 was jammed with cars who were stopped in heat and most had no water or food in their cars and people died on that highway. The stoppage was all the way to Dallas. Did you get that - people died. I will never stop encouraging people to have a prepared backpack in their car. If I save one person from dying, it is worth it as it just takes my typing letters of the alphabet to encourage them to do that.
In this area, you can count on a hurricane coming through here and if you miss a year, that's great, but they will come again. And, yes, my car stays at least half full all the time.
I want everyone to live, don't you?
I guess I need to add a third category...”Grumps”
