You asked if preppers still look silly. I answered. Now I'm left wondering how many cans of prepper corn and 5.56 rounds a silly person would trade for a gallon of ethanol - or if it's just murder all the way down, lol.
-you know, I know what it is that I find so hilarious about prepping now. It's a combo between a living wake and a viking funeral. Pack a ship full of shit for the next life. More out of compulsion than practicality or need. It can make a person feel better in this one, even if it won't mean much in the next.
I bet you don't know any Amish people - do you?
While I don't agree with their Luddite view of technology - I have learned a few things from them.
The Amish have a thing about keeping a year's supply of food on hand. (I got this from the father of an Amish family - over a dinner they invited me to join).. It's not out of paranoia - or fear of the end of the world - but out of practicality. He said "What is a man going to do if he breaks both legs falling off a ladder? How is he going to feed his family? Is he to beg from his neighbor? It's better to be ready as best you can for the future you can't see".
I found that to be an excellent attitude - and decided to embrace and expound on the philosophy.. Self reliance is a good thing.
