Welp. One thing is most people built fallout shelters (build bugout bunkers) for their families; so, maybe that's not directly "personal safety". At any rate, there is also a general belief among preppers that they are a set of people, a group inspired to be prepared; this generally also defines those who do not prep as not prepared.

I'd say a prepper in USA has a 75% chance of survival whereas a non-prepper a 0.5%. (Given my expectation t... (read more)
