The last two disasters certainly didn’t work for preppers...whether all your “preparedness” gets washed down a river or burned to a crisp.

Good points, Lizzie D.

I’ll add that having a FIREPROOF gun safe or large floor safe is a good idea - whether you’re prepping or not for cash money, ammo, important papers, etc.

My other advice: Have cash on hand (see safe, above) and learn basic survival skills.

Not necessarily so.

Some did survive and not get burned out because of prepping.

But the fatalistic attitude of giving up without even trying will guarantee a bad outcome.

Agreed but thinking more along of COVID when things got tight not necessarily an act of God.
