>> What preppers overlook is that they wasted away their lives in totally unnecessary fear, while making their families suffer from their mental illness. <<
Yep. That’s me. Wasted life.
The reason these threads have become hostile are comments like yours. Why do folks like you just have to express their unwelcome opinions on these threads?
Your comment reminds me of the folks up the street that scoff at our preps. Those idiots will be the first ones begging for food and the first ones I have to kill.
The only reason they know of our preps is because they are kin to some of our group and were invited. They have been warned to stay away should anything go sideways.
