Be Ready To Start Prepping

It seems as everyone knows a secret… Everyone knows that the end is near! Major increase in consumption of survival and prepping products but it looks as no one is willing to tell us why?
There is no doubt that there is increase in the consumption of the products, although the interesting thing is that it is not is one specific products. All products related are selling, selling and selling!  There are many reasons why it happens, maybe a basic human instinct or perhaps futurist view. I will try to answer it and give some reasons on why people are so eager to be prepared to survive and fight for their lives.

1.Survival Instinct
In our DNA there are many guide lines from thousands and thousands years ago which still affects us today, such the fear of height or snakes. In more physical way we could see the reaction when we jump from a high place to the ground, we roll to spread the impact force around the body and by doing it, spread the energy and hopefully, walk away from the jump. There are many stages in the jump, the most important one is the preparations to the jump, it might take less than a second but yet, it dictates how you will land. Some people might see further to the future and start preparing right now for their great ‘jump’. They want to land perfectly after some event which might change everything.

2.World Terror
After 9/11, the biggest terror attack on America which defiantly effected almost all humans on earth had another side-effect. Many researches show that more people started jogging and running regularly after it. One might conclude that maybe it is related to the need of survival. If it is right, it might explain why people are having the needed to be able to always escape or survive in a moment notice.
Terror might also relate to more fear which might be inside people’s mind. They are afraid of terror and they want to be able to be protected from it.

3.Increase in knowledge

One weekend edition of the  New York Times newspaper has more knowledge than what a peasant had in medieval times. People are now exposed to information like never before, in a few hours someone can become an expert on almost anything in the world. People are searching and finding threats on their own and family’s life. The amount is endless and everyone has something that scares him the most. Once you find that the very thing that scares you can actually happen you will do your best to avoid it, and if you can’t at least survive it.

These are the 3 top reasons that prepping has increased in the last few years and why it will keep increasing over the next few years.
Are they crazy or genius? Only time will tell.

Please leave a comment and let me know if one of these are the reasons you started prepping or if it was something else.
