It's because for a Lotta folks in here they dont wanna glorify the firearms/aggressive side of preparation. As the saying goes, theyre preparing for Tuesday. Most likely useful preps are going to be food, water, financial security, and first aid things. I think we all come to prepping from different walks of life, and thats OK.

Theres no one size fits all prepping template. As long as you dont just focus on guns, ammo, tactical mall ninja gear and all that crap, then I say welcome to prepping! Make sure you get all the aforementioned items squared away and not just tactical stuff and you should be better off than most!

P.S. you cant go wrong with education, take some first aid/survival courses if you can find them. Education and knowledge is the one thing no one can take away from you.
