I hadn't realised but you are likely correct about creeks. I spent a lot of childhood time trouncing around in them, building dams, catching minnows, etc.
I've always been more of a non-prepper. I remember during the cold war days all the talk of nuclear fallout, canned long-term rations and shelters and the like. I have an old Civil Defense publication from 1962 that details how to build a home-based fallout shelter and always thought if things got that bad that I'd rather just up and die forthwith rather than suffer some apocalyptic prolonged end.
Although, with age I seem to always collect an inordinate supply of paper towels, batteries, light bulbs and toilet tissue :)
