Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Some preppers just want to survive 1 month in case of an natural disaster, a quarantine, or a nuclear reactor meltdown in your neighbouring country.
I always keep a stockpile on stuff that lasts forever, or only needs to replaced every couple of month (rice/pasta).
Prepping for a natural disaster is a good idea.
Having some non-perishable food, batteries (and candles), water, meds/important documents, etc tucked away for an earthquake or tornado is a lot different than stockpiling guns and ammmo; hoping for the end times so you can become a raider or something. That seems to be what a lot of these guys are fantasizing about.
You're neglecting that bullets and weapons have (a relatively dense, and non-perishable)trade value apart from the legal currency system, like gold, liquor, medicines. Defending yourself from the preppers you've described, and looters in general, is also a reasonable concern.
