    I have to say, i was brexit prepping for a while and when covid hit it was a little satisfying sitting there with my well stocked pantry and decent stocks of toilet roll while other people were queueing out of the supermarkets

      I had most of what I needed to survive but I raced out to buy rum, mixer, and cheap red wine. I spent a month getting wine drunk and learning to appreciate Rihanna.

      Fair, but that’s not doomsday prepping. I also have a well stocked pantry in case the payment system gets hacked and shops can’t open, or something similar. That’s always smart, to prepare for at least a week food wise. But that’s different than hoarding war meals, weapons, combat gear, water purification systems, diesel generator and loads of fuel, etc. in your backyard bunker.
