Keeping your goods and family safe -- may require you keep your "prepared - supplied" status secret and to concentrate on surviving, instead of getting rich on your neighbors foolishness.
I man with starving children, and no gold -- but with a weapon ---- will come and attempt to take what his family needs to survive... It's normal human behavior.
