Prepping for what?


        I think that the most common question I receive when someone finds out that I am a prepper is "What are you prepping for?" I even get this question from other preppers, but if I really had to describe what kind of prepper I am I would say that I am a universalist prepper. What I mean by this is, I prep for virtually anything that one should prep for.
       I know that some people pick some main disaster that they are preparing for, Yellow Stone super volcano, an EMP, a viral outbreak, economic collapse, ect. But I am of the opinion that I should be prepping for anything and everything that could go wrong. Maybe it is the boy scout in me wanting to "always be prepared", but the simple truth is, I really have no idea what could happen, but I want my family to have as much of an advantage in a disaster as possible.
       I am also in an area that does not have any one big threat, like tornadoes or hurricanes, but I figure if I prepare for several different scenarios, and stock up on food, weapons and ammunition, and medical supplies then I should be at more of an advantage to survive.  After all it was Charles Darwin that said:

"It is not the strongest of a species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."

       So there you have it, my reason for prepping is to be as prepared for any disaster that comes my way. As I intend for my family and I to survive.
