Are you a prepper? If so, Why?

Having taken the NIMS and CERT Courses. Not a bad Idea to stock up "Be a Prepper" not just for the Conspiracy Whack a Doodles. Anyone of us could fall in a Natural Disaster Situation and not being able to access what we normally do. I see nothing wrong with having 10 days to 3 weeks of Emergency Supplies stashed somewhere on the Old Ranch.

With the world so interconnected, a global event (economic, war, epidemic) could affect the availability of resources. I'm working towards being self-sufficient, not only does that prepare me from any of these worst case scenarios, but it also provides me the peace and solidary I want in my life.

Nope, I would stock up on coffee if that were to be in short supply.
