I’ve always been a bit of a ‘prepper’. Pre-2020 that’s something I would’ve never admitted. It’s embarrassing to say I keep a military-style bag full of survival gear ready to go in my closet at a moment’s notice. I was the girl loading bags of rice into the cart the first few weeks of January as my friends rolled their eyes when I’d rant about a ‘mystery illness in Wuhan’ I’d read about.
