U.S. ‘prepper’ culture diversifies amid fear of disaster and political unrest
The number of preppers has doubled in size to about 20 million since 2017, due to more people or color and progressives joining the community, experts say.

Ha! Here in Australia we don't 'prep'. But I reckon I could comfortably survive in the bush for a good year with what I could throw into my ute with 5 min warning.
Yeah i live in the Territory, plenty of empty space thousands of head of cattle no one would care about once global trade collapsed.
Hell i think pur biggest problems would be other countries trying to take over.
I've seen a series of documentaries about this starring Mel Gibson.
Ohh yeah it was a really accurate documentary too, i enjoyed howbthe director didnt fictionalise anything or try push their own agenda in the documentary. 10/10
I could do alright for a few months if I found a remote enough place with a nice stream. I've got a garden and my tackle box is already in the truck for reasons unrelated to the apocalypse. I'd be living off fish, a small variety of veggies, and garlic.
If I could reach back far enough in my memory I could make a bow, fletch some arrows, and go hunting. I have the woodworking tools and with a bit of trial and error could probably remember how to make a string from animal gut or hide. Bonus, more fish hooks.
I would really enjoy that until it stopped feeling like a vacation and started feeling like work. I love hunting and used to love making tools for it.
I’ve been thinking more and more about Australia as a safe haven, but I’ll have to learn to be an Australian to live there. Lots of things that will kill you there.
