Prepping to an extent is sound reasoning in my opinion. I live in a rural area of the Sierra Nevada so it’s just been a fact of life. I grew up getting snowed in once to thrice in the winter, it doesn’t happen often anymore though, now wildfires are a more of the issue, power outages are frequent, and there’s always been the looming threat of “The Big One” earthquake, so it necessitates some prepping.
Now if one is prepping because of the fear of zombies, alien invasion, an inter-dimensional reptilian uprising, I would say some psychiatric help is probably more needed than that extra case or rice.
If the need is driven from societal collapse, cataclysmic natural disaster, nuclear war, I would say that your fears aren’t entirely unfounded one way or another but you really need to chill and investigate the plausibility of whatever it is in an objective way and not to let panic and fear control your life.
Social unrest, economic troubles, conflict, natural disasters, plague, are the norms of this world and always have been so I don’t see prepping as a symptom of lunacy, but it’s how it’s done and the ”whys” that make all the difference.
Prepping to some extent I see as a responsibility, in fact living where I do we are told that. “Prepare for the storm coming in. Don’t let the snow accumulate of your roof. Evacuate when instructed. Ensure you have at least several days worth of food and water. If the pass is closed don’t try to find a side road around it. Make sure you have a plan,” because doing so lessens the burden of first responders, businesses, govt. and everyone as a whole.
