This is provident living.

Keeping a can of kerosene next to your hurricane lanterns and a fifty pound

It isn't about being afraid. When you are prepared what many view as a
disaster can be an adventure. My brother just weathered hurricane Ike. He
took the time and care to tie his boat down like he was serious. It took all
day and lots of webbing not rope. He came out with a one inch
dent in a marina that was devastated. You gotta see it to believe the damage. Is this being a panic merchant?

I have no interest in these kinds of games. Take that business elsewhere. And for the record: No. Being real is not being a panic merhcant. This should be pretty obvious from my post above which you quoted and hopefully read carefully also... In case you did not see it here I quote again:

If it is not fearbased it is not what I mean by "survivor mode".
