Preppers tend to have their favorite disaster. There’s that one thing they feel they are particularly prepared for. That can be fun and all, but is prepping a game to you? The stuff you actually should be ready for is probably a lot more mundane.
In early 2020 I met a guy who felt the major health crisis was the time to buy a new gun. Okay . . .
Don’t get me wrong it’s always fun to buy a new gun. My gun safe wouldn’t be so packed if it wasn’t. However, he probably should have been planning for supply chain disruptions instead. Remember when toilet paper was in short supply?
Often it comes down to the basics: food, shelter, and water. Medical supplies are good as is having some sort of backup power. A backup method of communication could be a life saver. If nothing else you can assure friends and family you are fine. That way they won’t be tempted to risk life and limb in a disaster zone to check on you.
The biggest drain on my preps wasn’t a natural disaster or civil unrest. It was plain old job loss from an injury. My two years of preps looked pretty good -except it took 4 years to sort out my finances. That’s where having a tribe is essential. Friends and family helped get us through.
Prepare for the most likely things first. Then treat yourself to that rocket propelled Zombie Killer 5000.

If the immigrants did the proper documentation and came through the crossing points we would not be having this issue. No, Texas shouldn not have to close illegal crossing areas but if the federal government will not do their job, then the states must do what they need to in order to safeguard their people. Most Americans are not against immigration...but it must be done in accordance with our laws.
