I'm not talking about the end of the world, nukes etc. There is a big difference between a Mad Max scenario and preparing for much more likely situation where one might not have easy access to food, water and other needs for an extended period of time.
It doesn't have to be a "doomsday" scenario. Just a severe winter ice storm where I live could isolate us without electricity for a week or so.
I am not going to be eating my neighbors, but we do have emergency plans. We have a generator for enough electricity to power our water pump, freezer, and refrigerator. And we have a wood stove to heat the house and some simple cooking. I know our generator won't work our stove, but it would work a microwave.
My mom has always bought stuff in bulk to save money. But even though she has not had a family of 4 to cook for in a long time she still buys groceries like she does. So we have enough food for weeks.
