No fantasies of the end times, or an EMP taking out everything electric, or a zombie outbreak, or a asteroid hitting the planet.
Most of my prep and planning is for things that are actually likely to happen and have happened - like a medical emergency (ambulance is 5 to 50 minutes away as is LE response), vehicle break down in nasty weather, or a week or longer of no power after a hurricane. All of which happen to me on what seems to be a far too regular basis. Generator, checking it in May, replenishing 50+gallons of potable water and 20 gallons generator gas when the first named storm pops up, a case of MREs and other open-heat-and-eat foods, etc. In the cars are a tarp, flash lights, cheap air compressor, some rope, etc.
I'm 15 miles out of a a 120k person city, 2 hours by car away from really big cities (Orlando, Jax, Tampa) not so worried about civil unrest. No serious prep on that front, but even eliminating the 22lr spoons and ammo, I have enough to cover all of the adults in my house plus a few guests with a rifle/carbine and a few full mags. If I lived closer to the big cities, or heaven forbid actually *in* one of them, I'd take this side of things far more seriously.
