According to Bunker by Bradley Garrett, the Mormon's are extensive preppers and have supplies for more than the population of Salt Lake City underground. So if there is a worldwide catastrophe, this prediction may come true.

- Tade0 3y agoSo basically enough to starve out the rest of the population should civilisation collapse?
- hef19898 3y agoAnd why exactly would civilization collapse?
- tuatoru 3y agoIt doesn't really matter; the whole notion is mistaken. In the long run survival is dependent on flows of food and materials, not stocks. Survival requires continuous replenishment. Are Mormons investing in farming skills and knowledge of how to make fertilizers and agricultural equipment at various technology levels? Not to mention mining or medicine or textile-making or construction or any of the other skills required...
- _yb2s 3y agoFamines and societal collapse/crisis are common historically, and usually short enough that stocks can make the difference in survival.
- hef19898 3y agoMost famines were too long and large for stockpiles, they were always a general avaiability and distribution problem (holodomor, Ireland, Bengal, Africa multiple times). Fun thing so, society as whole never really collapsed, not even during the Plague.
- _yb2s 3y agoIt’s not unusual for Preppers to store a year of food or more for the entire family. That absolutely would make the difference in surviving even a many year famine. The idea that storing large amounts of food to prepare for shortages is useless is a really silly concept considering how widespread it is amongst humans and many other mammals.
