I'm glad that he was able to give it to people who could get it to ones that really needed it. After so much heartache that has to do his heart some good.

so to all those who think prepping is a waste of time; gotcha

Indeed, it's a sad story.

Still, I'm glad his stash ended up helping people.

Still, though, I wonder about the different prorities of people on the prepping spectrum.

I prep a lot, but I can't say it's my life's work. I enjoy going out to dinner and the theatre, I enjoy my writing, outdoor activities, and so on.

I want to do more in prepping, but I don't want to turn my house into a fortress or a bunker. I want to get plenty of food stockpiled, but I don't know about 25 years' worth.

Is there a line where prepping turns into a combination of hoarding, paranoia, and obsessive fear of an uncertian future?

I would still like to enjoy life.

just prep,enjoy life as it comes,but watch your six.

Prepping is very subjective, we all have our influences, some will say he wasted all the money prepping but then again how many people have saved money all there life but died before they were even able to spend a dime. The way I see it, the good Lord humbled him through his darkest days and restored his dignity by helping those that needed it the most. His whole life has been for that one crucial day and not the end of the world, he just didn't know it yet.

I choose to do what I do because I want to do it because I also enjoy doing it, what can be more healthier.

 

[Kevin L]

I get your point.

Pretty impressive guy. I’m just glad he has found some good friends to help look after him now in his older years.

prepping is a personal thing, we each do it our own way, I doubt if any 2 are the same.

Sounds like a healthy attitude to me.
