I will give another plug for the Platy's they are great.

As far as being complacent, it happens. When something bad happens you take measures to make yourself fell better prepared for it the next time it happens. After time when it doesn't happen next month, next year or in the next five years, your food is out of date, you are out of batteries, you forget how to use a compass etc. That is why you hang out with like minded people and try to keep up with the Jone's.
