The purpose of crisis prep is not to see you through any imaginable crisis but to buy you time. Applies to both resources (financial and non) and intellectual (scenarios, contingency plans). The stockpile running out is fine. Wasting the time it bought you is not.

I think this is the idea I see missing in prepper culture (or at least the caricature thereof in pop culture) that makes it seem crackpot to me. They don’t seem to think in time-buying terms but “indefinite survival without thinking” mode if SHTF. Toilet-paper-for-life attitude.

the squad ambush carries enough rounds to give the platoon time to jump into its defensive positions... the platoon has enough sustain for the full company to be able to mount a concerted response etc etc
