What's funny for a foreigner like me is that the "preparedness scene" seems to exhibit a lot of American cliches :
- it's never reasonable : you prepare for the end of the world or a "multi generational collapse" not "just" a "little" earthquake or a flood
- you need a Hollywood budget : a well stocked retreat that will allow you to "survive" without changing any of your habits
- guns, lots of guns : I remember someone recommending having 10'000 (yes, ten thousand) ammo for each semi-auto carbine you had (no less than 2 per member of your family of course, not including handguns, knives, handgrenades etc)
- fatality is never an option : end of the world, multi generational collapse ? So what ? You just need to store more food, dig deeper for your bunker, and buy more guns (of course ;-)
In fact I believe it's the first time I read something reasonable about preparedness in English !
