> but I worry that its just the Prepper in me trying to come out.

Fixed it for you :-)

There's nothing crazy with a little prepping, is it? Many of the practices are even recommended around here (stock up on food with long shelf life, keep clean water around, some iodine, a battery powered radio etc)

There’s nothing wrong with a little prepping but you have to take that to the scenario’s logical conclusion. What happens if you run out of supplies and there is no deus ex machina narrative and you are faced with starvation.

The hard part will be deciding when to pick up the family and move somewhere with a climate conducive to farming. I have a nice big block now, but live in a very arid area and rely on civilisation to deliver water to my house.

I don't know why you were downvoted. A little prepping makes sense to me.
