@Atypical Sapien,
Thank you for posting Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. I reference it often.
When it comes to prepping, I try not to limit myself to addressing the pyramid in a strict, ridged application. I think differing aspects of the pyramid overlap at differing times. Kinda like morale. If your basic needs are all met, but you have to resort to talking to a volleyball, you might be in trouble.
