I have been a prepper of sorts since before 1960. Prepping really took off back around 1978 when people got a real look at Jimmy Carter’s incompetence.
Began again with Bill Clinton’s admin, fell flat after Y2K, now starting up again.
It’s common sense to keep extra canned food on hand for emergencies. That is something I learned while living on isolated farms back in the 1950s. My folks got through the depression that way.

I read Howard Ruff in the late-70s as a teenager.
