109. Like I said, if you live in SoCal and are not, you are a fool.

I live in the middle of raw desert. Since the earthquake is coming, I have water and food stored. I also have a means to convert my solar panels from grid tie to local usage. I have a comm plan to contact my family (I live alone). So yes I have made some plans. All of this is recommended by FEMA and the state disaster people.
What they do in Japanese cites is scarcely relevant and I saw next to nothing while I was there, not unlike what I have seen in NYC or SFO.

Prepper is a huge continuum. Some are hardcore TEOTAWAKI idiots that scare the hell out of me. Most are like Mormons doing the 1 year supply of food/provident living thing and are fairly innocuous. Some are like me, Nadin, and others DUers who look at week to a month. The differences are dramatic n cost and attitude.

One thing I have found is that both the economic downturn and the recent disasters are causing people to think about things like that and about the longer term. That is a good thing for them and society.

I recent saw for the first time some TV shows about Preppers. I hope most of it is faked like many reality TV shows. Some real freaks there.

I bet you know some preppers some where along that sliding scale. Many do not talk about it. If they are minor ones, like me, you assume everyone has that level of stuff done. If they are some of the freaks you don't talk about in case the zombies hear about it

None of this has a damn thing to do with gun control or the massacre in Conn.
