I have/ had that book. I can’t find it on my bookshelf anywhere and wonder if I lent it to someone.

It’s a fantastic book and not all that unlikely to play out that way should a disaster happen.

I’ll have to look at that.

I didn't read the sequel, but I heard it was also excellent. Scary stuff.

You all probably remember that at one point in the book, the main character John starts lamenting his lack of prepardness in his own household and for his own family in the event of disaster.

He fires off a list in his mind: water purification, dog food, 50lb bags of rice and flour, batteries, extra good shoes, ammunition, dog food, and on and on.

And he never stocked those things. He only came to the realization when they were all starving and suffering.

"You said "Dog food twice" ...

"Well, I like dog food" ...

Good for you.

I knew someone who used to feed his dogs a mixture of scrap meat from the local butcher cooked together with corn meal.

He said his dogs were always healthy and had shiny coats.

I will only allude to friends who worked on Wall Street. We were discussing the fact of wealthy preppers over four years ago. It’s been going on for awhile.

When the rich become preppers it’s time to be looking up!

Late post here. Looks like the prepper trend has subsided and decreased in popularity. Apparently, the now more obvious and further increasing threat of nuclear war isn’t as interesting or fun to many.
