Everyone sees self defense and "prepping" differently...different opinions on just what they are and different physical abilities to "do stuff".
I'm 59 with 4 heart attacks in my past, a chest full of steel keeping various coronary arteries open, have emphysema and diabetes, and horribly abused my body for the first 50-55 years of my life. I'd have problems with ChattanoogaPhil's 10 minute walk on a hot humid day. No, my days of being physically able to be a warfighter are long past, however...
Taking care of myself and mine on my little piece of land IS possible though, and except for electricity we are pretty self sufficient...and, if the time ever came, I have things set up where I could do a pretty good job of defending it.
Home defense...self-sufficiency...prepping...all happen far more above the neck than below it.
