“Prepping takes the fear out of uncertain times !”
Seems to me some preppers live in constant fear of uncertain times. So much so that they reorganize their lives around it. Then, having invested so much in it, they are actually hoping for it. Meanwhile you can miss out on a lot of living.
That said, I’m all for reasonable preparation, but you can’t really isolate yourself from teotwawki.
My exact feelings. Be prepared, be aware, and go on with life.
