I’m enjoying newsletter on prepping ht . Lots of good FEMA data in his latest. DC is the least prepped statelet, Montana is the most prepped.
“2020 didn’t increase how many people are preppers, but existing preppers doubled down.”
Conversation
“Hawaii is the tenth-most prepared state, but Pacific Islanders are the most prepared people by race.”
“Another interesting fact: preparedness among Asians skyrocketed after 2020. Among many other things that year, Asians became targets of violence and harassment”

Rebranding and de-crackpotting of prepping as a normalized, mainstream, and non-partisan tendency is long overdue. This newsletter is a solid outpost in the future of prepping.
I’d like a highly urban edition though. Half the country lives in cities and rents.

Resilient Citizen, (or RC for short): someone who has 31 days or more of necessary supplies on hand.
Highly Resilient Citizens (HRCs): 90 or more days of supplies.
Ultra-Highly Resilient Citizens (UHRCs): 97 or more days of supplies.

We’d count as RCs I think but with gaps

What would we term someone who lives in a community capable of growing & bartering supplies indefinitely?

It feels like a typo. Other prepper folks I know think about it in different buckets
- 1 week for your whole family, bare minimum disruption
- 3 weeks WF + spare, post hurricane or snowstorm, waiting for FEMA
- 6 weeks or more, survivalists.
