Like prepping for social collapse?
Have enough dry store food/supplies for a month or two in case there are shortages in the shops, like at the start of Covid. And it's not a bad idea to be prepared with warm, waterproof clothes, a torch, first aid kit, bottled water. A good knife. Basically the gear you'd take on a week's camping trip.
Otherwise, it's a waste of time. If you ever need to switch to being self-sustained because the government has broken down, the only thing that'll keep you alive is by forming new social organisations and working together.
If you have 100 tins and no running water to cook pasta, that's only 30 days food for one person, two weeks for a couple, maybe a week for a family of three. Add in sharing your stores to help people in need and it's impractical for an individual to prep enough to keep society going.
Essentially, prepare to be useful to others and not a drain on them if shit hits the fan. Because the most important thing will be contributing to put a new society together as quickly as possible.
