Before I go into the various reasons, I would like to clarify what preppers actually stand for. Real preppers. Not doomsday preppers.
Real preppers are people who prepare to be self-reliant and self-sufficient or without substantial assistance from outside resources (i.e., government, police, etc.)
Preppers simply prepare for potential hardships that may come your way. This includes job loss, family hardship, extreme weather, or civic instability, all very real.
Preppers master financial independence, food preservation, gardening, food and water storage, and other self-sufficiency skills to help them get through difficult times.
I’d like to believe that the whole Covid event has convinced a few more individuals of the need to be prepared. People tended gardens to the point that canning materials were in short supply. As more individuals began to raise chickens, newborn chicks became scarce. It would be good if these new preparation believers would stay with it and not revert to the old just-in-time mentality. There are still many things that may go wrong. They don’t have to be weird to be a considerable problem in the pantry. I hope your blog reaches more preppers while there’s still time to prepare.
