I don't consider myself a prepper at all, and I have dried food (beans, rice, etc.), water, space blankets, and a few other things all tucked into a rubbermaid next to my camping gear. By contrast, I know people with young kids that pretty much don't do any prep at all beyond having a first aid kit in the house.
I suppose the difference is that we had an "atmospheric river event" back in November and for me, it demonstrated just how poorly prepared the government is for dealing with this stuff, and how fragile/tenuous our link with the rest of the country is (I live on Vancouver Island).
