Never really called it "prepping" but after living in places that throw hurricanes, blizzards, ice storms and other foul weather at you or the potential for violent crime due to working in or travelling around urban cesspool's here and abroad I have always kept a certain level of preparedness.
We keep a respectable amount of what I consider essentials on hand just as part of our SOP just incase of foul weather or "hard times", my spouse laughs when I refer to the stash as our "Beans, Bullets and Band-Aids".
I know a few people that have gone all in on "prepping" and may be prepared for the "end of times", societal collapse , WW III or what other scenario you wish to insert here; that works for them so be it.
We live outside a small town (pop. 700) in western NC and while I don't envision the commie horde coming up our mountain, these days you never know. This country is no longer the one I grew up in and I have no idea what the future will bring; we'll do the best we can.
