I've heard about this many yrs ago but have not gone there.

A friend bought a prepper box with food stuffs and it's been in her closet for years.....I hope she's thrown it out.

Prepper:

a person who believes a catastrophic disaster or emergency is likely to occur in the future and makes active preparations for it, typically by stockpiling food, ammunition, and other supplies.
"there's no agreement among preppers about what disaster is most imminent"

Yeah! I really wish I was more of a " prepper"! I worry about big earthquakes ! But besides having quite a few flashlights and lots of bottled water , other than that I can truly say we are not really prepared in my household !

I have 2 gallons of water and some band aids if anything crazy happens. I have some candles but that is because years ago I liked candles

I have many candles, scented ones cause I love them. But they aren't good out here in an earthquake. Very unsafe.

I never even really leave candles lit unattended for any long period of time in normal circumstances in case a quake hits and the candles fall over and catches fire I can get it out in time !

That's why they recommend flashlights out here for light if we lose power !

I have a couple of gallons of water, flashlights, food for at least 1 or 2 weeks just to help get me through something dicey.

I cook grilled chicken with peppers. I like the taste of red and yellow peppers better than green ones.

Nah - I'll go down fighting.

It would be awful to survive - no medical care/dental - no nothing.

I'll fight until the end.

In the meantime - I am enjoying my ham and cheese sandwich - with chips.

Prepping for the end of civilization?

I have every intention of causing it.
