43. Nothing wrong with being prepared and having a plan
however the people who get in to it for these fad-type reasons are unlikely to be the type that is really prepared for anything.

It's not that hard to start your own stockpile and getting an education on useful skills will likely be even more valuable. (what are you going to eat when the food runs out? Best to learn how to skin a rabbit before you're starving and sickly).
