I agree. Preparedness is something I only really discuss with my wife. This because 1) I don't want anyone trying to take my supplies if there is a real emergency because that could get very ugly and 2) in this day and age, we (anyone) don't need people being suspicious of us for any reason. From what my neighbors see I'm just the average suburban John Doe with a wife and a small kid and a truck and an SUV parked in the driveway. Every other friday (on average) I'm taking off for the trails in my hiking shoes with a dog and a small backpack with a sleeping bag strapped to the bottom. Even when I used to be an avid hunter I would be very descrete about loading the guns in to the car when packing for a trip. I figure there is just no good reason for people to know I have that kind of stuff.
