Today, they say “prepper” and laugh at you.
Tomorrow, they’ll say “hoarder!” and attack you.
(and I pray it doesn’t come to that...)
Which brings up the important lesson -- If you do it don't tell anybody about it. Sooner or later they will figure it out when you are not starving and they are, but at that point physical strength and potent weapons will give you the advantage to overcome the anarchy and the mayhem. Don't worry about dying in the calamity, worry about surviving it.

Have been reading eyewitness accounts of this during post-Katrina and other events. It should be planned on.
Also, don’t trust any ‘rescuers’. I’ve seen reports of thug behavior from them as well.
