Survival in a disaster is, out here in the real world, community survival. Your friends, your family, your neighbors.

Even professional "survivalists" understand that you have to have more than one person or family to make it work best, and you will much more often find them in large groups or communities than one nut out in a cave somewhere. The Mormons are big on disaster preparedness, but they realize the key is to have all of them sock away the food, medicine and water, and then face the problem together.

But enough of that. I've been listening to talk about the imminent collapse of civilization my entire adult life, and all through that time we have never been through anything a fraction as serious as WWII or the Depression.

Much more likely are natural disasters, power outages, things like that. THAT'S what you need those supplies for. I think we made a big mistake shutting down the Civil Defense shelter and supply system. There are a lot of things more likely than nuclear war.
