Do you think your balance is right?

Yes but we can buy you a cane and you will not fall over!

I have reached the point in life where the determining survival factor is my own age and the stockpile of meds.

It will do me no good to have 50 years of food in stock if I only have a one year supply of life sustaining meds.

And it will do me no good to have 50 years worth of meds when I can only have another decade of expected life span even under normal conditions with adequate health care.

You have to face reality at some point. Bad harvest, bad battle, WMD set off in your hip pocket, bad winter, bad storm under too many trees,,, You are going to eventually die and there is not one thing you can do about it.

One of the things people see as weird about preppers is that often they have not accepted that fate and can not imagine a world without them in it.
