I try to keep it as practical as possible. I prep for any event that would cause a failure in the supply chain for food, water, or other household essentials for a month or more.

Some things that could lead to supply chain breakage: natural disasters (fires, floods, snowstorms, cosmic events), unnatural disasters (riots, terrorism, political devolution, idiocracy), and the one thing that I am certainly NOT prepped for, but I do believe will eventually come: real economic collapse.

Like lots of folks here, my preps are slowly growing as I have the money. However, with a newborn in our family now, my vision of being a "Patriots" style commando has faded to more realistic goals of being able to provide for my family and survive whichever events I deem most likely to occur (which is a discussion all on it's own).

Noted. Valid point.
