"I dont believe in the end of the world!"

[Scythe13]

I had an argument in a previous forum about this same thing. TEOTWAWKI is not the end of the world. It's just a huge change in our understanding of the world in which we live.

Don't worry BP. Optimistic pessimism will bring you through. You're planning for survival (optimistic) but you know something is going to happen (pessimism, or realism if you prefer). People that do not believe in something happening are kind of wasting their time. Small preps should come down to common sense. But real hardcore prepping is what will keep you alive whatever happens.

If you can catch food, make shelter, build fire, collect and purify water, then you have the ability to survive. If you are ready for it, and have those same skills, you are ready to thrive.
