38. NYC and New Jersey Preppers did okay.

Nov 2012

I'm a Prepper. You should be too.

I keep about two weeks worth of camping food and two weeks of water in my basement. I have bags packed with the stuff so I can grab it and go, too.

Never know when a natural disaster will require I use the stuff. I rotate it out before it expires, too.

Taking it to extremes is bonkers, but everybody should prep for a natural disaster scenario.
