    No we aren’t. We like being the heroes in little emergencies.

    When the big emergencies happen, we’re just as likely to die as anybody else. Anybody who says differently is a complete moron.

    Prepare for the most likely scenario, and you’ll be fine. For the big problems, the best insurance against that is being an active member of your community. Prepping by being there for city council meetings and advocating for responsible city budgeting and city planning is way more likely to save you and your family than kitting your Jeep with a generator.
