More and more people are prepping for the worst

There’s an overwhelming loss of trust and hope amongst a growing number of people around the world, with just cause. Wars, genocides, accelerating climate change, political instability, inconsistent access to basic necessities, and the pandemic are all reasons that more people are choosing to prepare for the worst.

Is it such a bad idea to be prepared under the current circumstances? I’ve been talking with my children about starting a vegetable garden. Beyond that, I have no experience with survivalist methods or practices. There’s a lot I should start educating myself on, and I think it would be beneficial if everyone spent some time learning how to take care of themselves in case society collapses.

Things aren’t looking good in any aspect of our existence and with this understanding dawning on more and more, people want to do what they can to feel like they can manage and maneuver through the imminent chaos.

It is sad to see so many people losing hope in humanity, but that is the result of the world we live in. As the wars continue and the climate crisis worsens, more will become self-reliant and turn away from trust in governments and society because nothing is progressing.

Prepping is not a bad idea at all. Let’s not give up total hope and keep our movements for human rights and environmentalism going, but let’s also spare some time so that we are ready in case things unravel quickly.

If you’re like me and are looking to get started in prepping, take a look at The Prepared site. Looking at a few different websites, there’s a lot I have to learn, but this is definitely good information to know and be prepared for in case of emergency.

A heavy heart...
