That is something totally different and I agree with you. There are two different types of preppers. One who tries to prepare for whatever disaster may come his way. And one who thinks the world is going to come to and end and we'll all be living like Mad Max. I too think the latter is crazy.
The Argentina collapse wasn't that long ago. That is a more accurate representation of what would happen if the dollar or euro collapses, and one of them, or both may. It's way to early to tell and it depends on what they do from here on out. China, Germany, Russia, and even the USA, have all collapsed before. There is nothing stopping it from happening again. And if you want to add hyperinflation to the possibly, that list is huge, and again includes the USA.
