Thankfully, I keep a 6-month rotation of food, minor electric generation, and have 3 types of heat sources.
Don't let propaganda from mainstream media divide you. Shit like Doomsday Preppers is intended as sensationalist entertainment. They even pay people to act retarded on camera, just like every other reality TV program. Most people who do active prepping or survivalist don't tell everyone about it, which is actually incorrect methodology for prepping. It is the oddballs who hold up the signs about stupid shit and post crazy stuff online. They are the flies in the ointment.
Even the US government encourages family preparedness. Everything from natural disasters to a spouse of the household losing their job is something for which you need to prep. Proper prepping is not only about having the right skills and pile of items. It is about local social connections with your neighbors, friends, and family. Swallowing the propaganda pill will separate you from those connections and in a serious natural disaster that could be to your extreme detriment.
