I guess everyone needs a hobby ...

It is prudent to have certain emergency supplies on hand such as sufficient drinking water, candles, flashlights, etc - because we are very dependent on infrastructure which is vulnerable to things like ice storms and hurricanes.

But spending what looks like tens or maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars prepping for the Armegeddon in the case of the OP does seem a little obsessed.

If we get hit by a giant meteor or a few hundred nukes I'm not sure that having a bunch of MREs on hand and reinforcing your basement will be of much value.
