I've noticed a weird disaster prep trend with people hoarding canned goods and turning their spare room into a stockpile area for medical supplies and bottled water.
There is TV show Doomsday Preppers, there are forums on disaster prep and there are TONS of Youtube videos of people showing their stockpile of supplies and showing how to rig your own camp stove. There's video after video of normal looking housewives talking about how to cook with no electricity , how to purify water and what supplies to have in your 72 hour survival kit.
Walmart even sells a $3,000 kit that contains emergency food for a family of 4 for a month. What is going on here?
When did this prepping trend start and what are they prepping for?
Is the world ending again? One housewife sounded a little crazy as she talked about the bottom dropping out of the economy and how her family would be the only ones with food. Are these people waiting on Armegeddon, zombies or some kind of financial collapse?
I feel like there's this popular movement or trend and I'm completely out of the loop.
