Always good to start the day off with a chuckle. The author probably needs to familiarize himself with the field a little before he opines. I am, however, firmly in support of liberals purchasing shiny new guns and waving them around like magic wands. If SHTF you'll know where to get one.

Seth Hemond, an outdoorsman now living in Washington state, has been prepping for a decade or so, long before Trump entered the White House.

That's awfully helpful information right there - who knew that Trump hasn't been in office for a decade? Well, I certainly didn't. It is amusing, though, to contemplate certain liberal friends who do own relatively shiny-new guns. I asked one of them, "if the government told you to turn yours in, would you?" "Hell no," he sez. "Then why would you expect me to?" He actually hadn't thought of that.

My own take is that prepping is inherently good (unless it becomes obsessive, just like practically anything else) since stuff happens. In my area a wildfire could drive me out like no zombie apocalypse ever could - actually, I'm sort of looking forward to a zombie apocalypse, but then who doesn't? So a few days' food and gear ready to roll and a preplanned route out. That isn't "prepping" so much as common sense. I could get snowed in. I could and do lose power. Or zombies.
