If you don't have a 3 month supply of water and food then I suggest you get it soon. Don't be a moron.

Funny how I used to think my great-grandfather was crazy for having a garden and being a prepper.

I implore most of you to pay attention at the grocery next time you go. The stock is getting smaller by the month.

All it would take is a disaster to break the supply lines. Then what?

I'm not going to starve nor beg for food and water. Rather spend a dime or two and protect myself and my loved ones.

Worrisome that Costco would be selling a product like that. Do they know something we don't?

Yes.

That there is profit to be made on fear and that the Doomsdayer type of shows combined with the Mayan thing will lead some innocent and otherwise level-headed people to purchase crap they can't really afford and don't need.

I love you Coachie. I'm not seeing this at all but I say that with all the affection in the world.

You can prep on the cheap.

The people you mention being taken advantage of are far less pathetic then say an Apple fanatic who has to have all the new gadgets. And plenty of poor folks have overpriced iphones.

A major earthquake on the west coast or new madrid would make you regret not having what you need to survive.

To me there a difference between having an earthquake kit with supplies for a few days and $1,199.99 ("after $300.00 off") for the Costco thing.

One is reality and one borders on lunacy.

I've been through a mudslide, a fire and of course a few earthquakes just because of where i live. A few days worth of stuff is the most I would ever bother with and yes if I'm wrong I'm wrong and I will be one of those women you so eloquently suggested would be blowing Hell's Angels I suppose.

I know what you mean about the Apple fanatics...
