You are right that calling people who prepare paranoid is definitely a slight. I prepare for all kinds of things. Making sure I have my usual tools with me when I go for a motor-bike ride or going to other areas of concern, having a spare propane tank for the b-b-q. Nothing is worse than running out when the steaks are on. Any way, I don't think I am being paranoid, I like to think I am being smart.
