But, you know, sort of thinking about being prepared, not as like, oh, I have to go and like figure out how to buy like really long shelf life food on Amazon.

And then, you know, what who is a reliable source for this?

No, you just look at the kinds of things that you like to eat.

that are shelf stable, and just have more of those on hand because that will make your day-to-day life easier and also will put you in a better position if something totally unexpected happens and you have to shelter in place.

Yeah, yeah.

And I mean, I think like...

Another thing is just not feeling intimidated by like, oh, I have to do all of these things.

It's like, no, just start with like having enough water around and, you know, having some extra dry food that is stuff that you eat anyway.

And then you can work from there.

It's not like you have to do all of the things all at once or anticipate, you know, every possibility because you just can't, you know.

And having conversations with people about like, you know, what they're doing, do they have their preps?

Like, it can be fun.

And, you know, I mean, if you get into like a, you know, a little social competition about it, I could be like playful, fun, like, all right, let's, you know.

I have this idea for like a new kind of dinner party.

I haven't tried it yet, but I absolutely want to, which is like you roll the dice to like figure out whose house you're going to go to and then you show up at that house and then you have to figure out how to like make a really nice dinner with just the shelf stable prep food that's there.

And so then you kind of practice like making fun meals and, you know, surviving in your like, you know, mini apocalypse dinner party.

So, yeah.

Yeah.

Stuff like that.

I think we could make it fun.
