I prepare for everything

The way the world is going you're gonna be more comfortable than most people in a couple years.

At least unless they send some peacekeepers over to take and redistribute your stuff.

You do you in a bunker.

Good that you are stocked with arms. Mainly because those who stock without them are just stockpiling them for the strongest dude on the block.

got plenty here maybe not as much as you do , but able to survive for a while. cant' depend on the government for anything but taking you for a ride.

I definitely stock/ hoard things. I keep a tent and tackle in my trunk. I have a “go-bag”. And a meet up spot. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I think maybe when you have kids too, it makes it really important that you at least tried to keep them alive incase of emergency.

Typical ISTJ behavior, I see nothing out of the ordinary here. This is normal for an ISTJ.

The idea of stocking up for emergencies, short term disasters, and even a potential short term breakdown of the local government is normal.

The extent of your preparations is not; but, that does not mean that it's not wise to do so. It's a question of how much disposable income you have and can you rotate your stocks and not loose too much $ in expired or bad items.

I have a more modest setup than yours. Should I win on of the major Publishers Clearing House I would likely invest more into it.

Most people should have sufficient stocks to go at least several days without utilities and be able to defend their home or apartment from normal bullies and thieves. A large gang or professionals requires extra supplies, skills, and a pre-constructed defensible location.

You will be ready, but like most, ineffective. The only people left will be people like me.

You’ll be dead and that stuff will end up all over the place, like the pieces of you that I didn’t make a hat out of.

You've obviously got things under a bit more control than some of us haha! Being prepared is totally normal, but sometimes people will call you out for it. Don't stress it, they're just messy like I am.

Prepare for trouble

keep a big stasha booze

its better currency than gold once shit goes down

Hoard some benzos too.

I don't have specific scenarios in my head, but we do have emergency plans for if we have to suddenly leave and fuck off into the wilderness.

Nothing wrong with being prepared.

Yeah that's awesome, I definitely want to do the same thing. I haven't gotten around to doing it yet though really. One thing I really want to get in case I'd ever be wanted by the police, but that I would be nervous about getting it since it is very illegal, is a fake passport. That would be awesome if I managed to get one though, I might be able to get one on the deep web but it would be very dodgy.

PS. Another thing you could do to prepare that I thought of would be for you and your wife to agree on a danger password. A good one would be a random name, like Dave. So then if a burglar ever broke in and had your wife at gunpoint, but then you phoned her, then the burglar might tell her to answer it but not let on that anything's wrong. She couldn't tell you that a burglar has her or he could shoot her, but she'd need to let you know somehow so that you could call the police. So she could then casually use the danger password in the conversation to warn you, like "Oh hi hun, I'm still in work... yeah I had to cover for Fred today, he's sick...". The burglar would think she was just making something up to get rid of you, but really she let you know the situation. She could've tried to let you know without having a pre-arranged danger password, but that'd be risky. I came up with this idea after seeing this scenario in so many action movies, and now everytime I do see a scenario like this I can't help but think that it wouldn't have happened if they had a danger password prepared, lol.
