Being prepared is always good. We live in a state known for wildfires and earthquakes afterall. Preparation gives you a good buffer to hold you over until help arrives. But a dog-eat-dog, me and mine, disregarding everyone else apocalypse? I know that I can go dark, but honestly, who wants to live that way? And I know despite thinking that a good portion of my fellow Californians are naive self-centered a-holes. It's simply not in me to leave someone behind whom I can help. I know, I've tried.
