Who else has been watching "Prepper" videos lately? [View all]

To be honest, it's not really new for me. I live in an isolated mountain community, and getting cut off from basic supplies and losing power has always been a real thing here.

In the past, the "Prepper Community" seemed to be dominated by right-wingers, convinced that FEMA and U.N. shock troops were gathering in the next county getting ready to swoop in and take their guns. That aside, there is some good advise out there for food preservation and and what supplies you might need when SHTF.

But I find myself starting to stock up a little more on each trip into town now. I fully expect food shortages and problems with the electrical grid along with the possibility of hyper-stagflation.
