I used to live in a small town, about a mile away from the only grocery store. Every evening I drove by it and saw the same cars in the parking lot buying groceries for the day. I also saw the same store with bare shelves a few times when the truck was delayed. Although I don't consider myself a prepper, I think it would be foolish not to have some basic things on hand. I fill the propane tanks on my TT after each trip, not before I leave for the next one. I put Stabil in the gas tank on my generator and fill it after each use. I could go for weeks without a visit to the grocery store. I try to run my vehicles on the top half of the fuel tank, not the bottom like most of my friends. I have enough water for several days, and a filter if I need to drink river water. Prepper, no. Practical guy who has seen the roads closed for several days at a time due to winter weather, yes.
