My partner isn’t a doomsday fanatic, although he enjoys to be prepared.
I think it all stems from his upbringing.
His Grandpa has a bunker for the entire family packed with supplies to last them for months. This trait to always be prepared trickled down to his son, plus then to my partner. But, he doesn’t have a bunker or something like that. Instead, he has two bags stuffed with stuff we’d need in case of an emergency. I appreciate how affectionate he is when explaining why he does this. But, I also worry it is too much strain to keep waiting for something poor to happen. He confesses the bunker his Grandpa built was never used plus he kept it stocked until he passed away. I think this is why my partner isn’t too extreme, though the logic of it all is ingrained in him. When my buddy and I got a new Heating plus A/C system installed in the condo my buddy and I bought together, my partner swung into action, then first, he bought a powerful generator that my buddy and I use when the power is off. Living in a dwelling in an section famous with blizzards warrants getting a generator to keep the heat on. Next, he got three space heaters for the same purpose. This section gets to drawback temperatures as early as October so it’s essential to have back up heating. We’ve only used the space heaters once plus I was so grateful my partner bought them. My associate and I had an issue with the boiler plus couldn’t turn it on so my buddy and I got the space heaters out before getting repair. His next project is to get portable ACs to use during summer.
