There is no sensible reason to not prep.
But if you want to live with your head in the clouds, have at it. And let us know how those clouds are at keeping you warm, fed, and healthy when things go south.
We live in Upstate NY and the weather is so unpredictable, that I start every winter with several months of food and other supplies to get through with a minimal, and I do mean minimal, amount of shopping.
Aside from the fact that the nearest grocery store is 15 miles from us, just who wants to schlep heavy groceries in through the cold, snow, and slop we're inundated with every winter.
It's much nicer to just sit inside and watch the weather happen, than get on the roads with all the idiots who panic at the last minute, mob the stores and strip them of essentials, and drive like total morons in the crap coming down outside.
Mock away, but don't come knocking on my door when you're in trouble. Figure your own way out.
Or sell your freedom and soul to FEMA for rations of food and water.
I've said several times on these threads that keeping a few weeks worth of supplies on hand is a smart thing to do. That level of preparedness is appropriate for the risk. What is not sensible is the hard core prepping where you've got a year's worth of stuff put up for some improbable SHTF scenario. It's directly analogous to having too much car insurance or whatever. There's a point where you're simply putting too much of your time/effort/resources into managing a risk.
How come I have the feeling that I wish I had half then stuff in my preps that this guy thinks I have?
