I agree with you . "Reasonable" people would prepare for any eventuality.
There was a time when paper money was worthless.
We know folks who collect gold coins and such; others have things to barter.
In New England I do attribute "stockpiling" to the harsh winters of old.
Latter Day Saints (Mormons) are also known for keeping large supplies of foodstuffs and rotating them.......my husband really admires how they stockpile.
In Florida I would definitely keep one of the walk in closets stocked with bottled water........as you all would need it.
