<how much is enough ?prepare at least for 30-60 days.>Key point,Jeff. what about those that buy food, e.g., for your 60 suggestion? What if food is not available for 80 days? Water for 65 days? They DIE, like really dumb-dead! And, to think, buying for these extra couple of weeks would only cost, what, an extra couple of hundred dollars? A whole family dying for saving a couple of hundred dollars? You can fit in any set of numbers here, with the same arguement. The point here is that there is NO answer to this- it is all judgement and determination of price vs. risk, an individual one. I would rather spend a couple of thousand extra to lower my risk potential for all but worse-case senarios where prep becomes fruitless and futile, as you pointed out.
