There is a nice thread about what started you prepping , so I thought to steal the idea and tweak it a bit and start this one: What keeps you prepping ???

For some, FEAR is the main factor , and they have been driven to prepping only because of some profecies which proved to be , well, nothing. For some of those , prepping was started by sensationalism , and killed by disappointment.

However, for many , including me, prepping is a way of life. Let's say it is the "smart way" of living. So if y2k and 2012 profecies did not materialize, that is good news. If economy does not collapase , that will be even greater news. On the other hand, life is full of unexpected emergencies of all shapes and forms, and for those I am - continuously - prepping.
