For the conspiracies i am not sure... some look pretty real :) For the
paranoia and stockpiling i agree. At first i was something like that, but
after seeing how hopeless this is and how much energy and money you waste, at
the same time that other people are starving, i reconsidered things a lot.

shit happens... sure... but it doesn't heart to be prepared in some level...
between logical boundaries i mean. :) a good first aid kit at home, car,
office and basic A'Aid skills are enough for many situations. From there
someone can be prepared for other things also, like natural phenomena, which
aren't very rare lately, worldwide.

This is a "trap"... too many "preppers" are preparing for ex: alien invasion,
but they don't prepare for a car accident, a home accident, a choking from
food etc, which are normal and everyday dangers in our lives. I see people
spending hundreds of dollars in expensive stuff, that they don't use even once
or they train their selves in gun shootings, without knowing how to treat a
would. First learn to walk and then learn to run ;)
