welcome friend! you must be specific and stay in scope. prep for things you can manage and survive. doomsday preppers are neurotic idiots. to me, prepping means hanging a water tight canvas bag in my tornado cellar (hung so critters dont get to it). there is food and water to survive in the cellar for weeks if we are inside and the house falls down on usm medkit too, amongst other things. my prepper expansion plans include a generator, solar panels, garden and chickens. do not fool yourself into homesteading - that is a full time job by itself. but you can pareto yourself into a much smaller reliance on outside support. the bottom line is you won't survive a disaster by yourself. the wilderness might support you, but it wont support you and all your neighbors. true prepping means setting roots into your community and creating antifragility for everyone.
