Honestly, I would say being prepared is really all about thinking about the future and making a plan for when shit hits the fan. Priorities should be based on likelihood, impact, difficulty to solve. If something is highly likely but easy to fix, fix it. If it is highly unlikely but high impact but also very difficult to fix maybe you solved that later.

The anti prepper stuff shows dumb people preparing for unlikely things in extreme ways while ignoring likely things that have huge impact. Food for example. Guns over food for example. Why not both? Are you gonna steal food from your neighbour with your guns?

Another thing is when you have an event like storm or power outage what happens? Afterwards figure out what you could do different.
