That's really the thing about prepping. If you prepare for bigger things, when small events come along, you can still continue with your day as if very little happened.

That's what the anti-preppers don't get. Even if I have on a tin-foil hat and am prepping for something ludicrious (I'm not admitting to anything here), I am still ready for anything else that might come along. And that includes a job loss or illness.

I’m not really a ‘prepper’ but I like to think of myself as prepared. For all of those higher statistical probability events, like ice storms, I would have no problems, which puts me a leg up if there ever was a SHTF situation. (I think I’m actually somewhere between common and SHTF).

By the way, what is an ‘anti-prepper’? I can understand scratching your head at some of the hoarder types but basic prepping is just common sense. It is very conservative to be prepared to be self sufficient versus waiting on someone fro the government who is here to help.
