Reply to: Prepping is just “flattening the curve” for everything from food to electricity Posted April 24, 2020

This quote says it all “Prepping is really a decision to take the slack that we’ve ‘optimized’ out of the system and put it on your own balance sheet.” I started taking this seriously after reading Ted Koppel’s book Lights Out in 2015. The book got mixed reviews but it made me realize that positioning my family to be self-reliant for an extended period is not just a good idea for the benefit of personal safety, it’s a public good to build reserves so as to reduce demand on services in times of emergency. This site is very useful!
