Is "Prepping" Practical Or Paranoia?

[napoleon_in_rags]

13. Prepping is total sanity.

I mean, not in all cases: I remember watching this show Doomsday preppers, that featured a man who took his sons out for firearms training, and while the show was filming, accidentally shot his thumb off. Another who was doing his arms training and such, who made the promise to keep his wife safe through the apocalypse, but she was dying of cancer during the filming. Being over fixated on arms and security is foolishness. The military is not going down, and that means when the shit hits the fan, a tank pulls up in front of your house, and you're recruited, with the weapon they give you, doing patrols of your neighborhood and saluting private Gomer Volunteer along with the rest of your platoon. But as far as food, sustainability, medical, lasting supplies - this is just pure wisdom. I wish we had more of a prepper culture on the left.
