Ask HN: Anyone else suddenly become a ‘prepper’?
by throwaway6532 on Hacker News.
Maybe I’m neurotic, maybe I just need to vent, but increasingly I find myself beginning to consume prepper videos on YouTube and have seriously started making plans to shore up a 3 month food and water supply etc. Curious if it’s just people as neurotic/anxious as I am, or is there a more widespread trend towards it going on anyone is noticing? Russia-Ukraine has been my hyperfocus for a long time now and I’ve been deep diving on international trade relationships, supply-chains, agriculture, and historical analogs to what is going on at the moment and I’m growing increasingly concerned by the day. It has tipped over into having a 3 month supply being the sensible position, at least for me anyway.
