So what happens next?

[Mortblanc]

The term "prepping" is an inclusive term incorperating several processes or steps.

Prepping includes building a store of supplies.

A means of defending/hiding those supplies.

The ability to replace the supplies as they are used up, normally through agricultural pursuits.

Until one has encompassed all the facets one is not actually "prepared" for much of anything.

The extent of these "preps" will be detirmined by the depth, duration and consciquences of the triggger event that requires one to go into "survival mode".

Fact is, most people are not equipped mentally, physically or with the equipment necessary to weather even a minor nuscience emergency. In most urban areas worldwide, a 24 hour power outage will trigger fire, riot, looting and general panic. This is why people talk about 'bugging out", anticipating that life will be easier in the rural areas.

Perhaps, perhaps not.
