[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - this site is the wrong place to ask this. There a quite a few preppers lurking here. [/quote]

So they should only ask if they get the answer they want to hear? I'm surprised how many people so far -- nearly unanimous -- are prepping to some extent. I think COVID has taught everyone that yes, shit does sometimes happen and it's good to be prepared.[/quote]

Well I think OP was looking for answers from normal people to feel out how off base her mother is - and so far the answers are not from normal people. Sorry, they just aren’t.

And as I said, I am not surprised by the initial posts. There have been several threads like this on DCUM and the prepped said respond immediately. The normal folks are just rolling their eyes and not responding.  [/quote]

I swear I hate responses like this. Not because you don't have a right to your opinion, but the level of arrogance in the post. Op shouldn't have asked a question (followed by repeat posts to support her claim that her mom is nuts) if she did not want answers opposing her views. I'm glad she got the opposite of what she anticipated. Nobody is suggesting that you go tin foil hat but being prepared for the unexpected always makes sense. If a black swan event such as Covid has not taught you that catastrophes happen, I don't know what will.[/quote]

Covid was a black swan event?

Also YOU are the arrogant one - most people in this country live paycheck to paycheck.  Most people in this country cannot even afford to buy more that 2 weeks worth of food at a time. So if you really believe that prepping, filling a garage with food, or buying freeze dried meals is normal, I do not know what to tell you. The extent of most peoples "prepping" is those who can afford to overspend at Costco.  [/quote]
