I am not a "Prepper" but your logic is flawed.

If one was an effective evangelist for "prepping" and the S were to ever HTF, wouldn't you be better off?

I would rather live in a town, city, county, state, nation... with 15% who prepped than one which had 5% who prepped. That would just mean less takers to defend against.

Talk to any local or state emergency manager, and they will complain that people don't prepare enough. FEMA asks Americans to be prepared, and even has lists of things to include in a go-bag. CDC put out the zombie posters to try to encourage people to have some basic preparedness.

On the one hand, the government wants us to be prepared, on the other, the media demonizes those that prepare.
