I hope this pandemic has opened everyone’s eyes to the benefits of disaster preparedness. If more of us get into the habit of stocking up in advance, we would experience less of a spike in demand when the next disaster strikes.
- ryandrake 6y agoI considered myself an "aspirational Prepper" before the pandemic, but I'm getting more and more serious about it. Watching society totally freak out over as little as going without TP for a few weeks and going without their manicure for a few months has been eye-opening. My plans to stock up on survival supplies and buy a little bug out property in a remote spot have gone from "wouldn't that be neat?" to "maybe it is time to set some money aside and start building up a savings for this" pretty quickly.
- subsubzero 6y agoI try to be prepared as possible, at least for covid there was a little warning, I was extremely concerned late Jan. '20 and bought extra TP/paper towels/razors before everything went crazy. For a volcanic eruption there is little to no warning so having essentials on hand seems pretty important. I went to school/knew alot of Mormons and used to poke fun at them for having so much canned food(the church mentions stocking up on a years worth of food) and that doesn't seem that out of line now.
