Most people are hardly interested in prepping until a crisis hits. But unfortunately, it’s too late to start preparing as a crisis unfolds.
Instead of getting comfortable with the rest of the unprepared households who seem to sit and watch as crisis after crisis takes place across the globe, we’ve listed five of the most compelling reasons why you should start survival prepping now.
The Pandemic Should Have Been A Wake-Up Call
Early on in the covid19 pandemic, food supplies were interrupted due to panic buying. It became challenging to find various essentials, and many households were forced to go without the items they needed.
Moreover, strict lockdown regulations made it challenging for many to stock up on essential supplies. These impacts of the pandemic highlight the issue of food security during a crisis.
Even though the pandemic is over, for the most part, there’s no way of predicting when the world might become engulfed by another deadly viral outbreak. With this, building a DIY root cellar to store food and water could potentially keep you and your family alive.
Natural Disasters Can Strike At Any Time
Even though the weather can be predicted to a certain point, most natural disasters happen without much warning. Hurricane Katrina and Super Storm Sandy are just two examples of natural disasters that left thousands of households fighting for survival.
Instead of hoping natural disasters won’t unfold in your hometown, it’s wise to prepare for these unpredictable events.
Economic Meltdown Comparable To The Great Depression
Another reason to start prepping is the growing concern of a looming economic meltdown. Unfortunately, the global economy has never been so unstable, while national economies struggle just the same.
Should a financial meltdown occur, food prices will surge, and so will the general cost of living. As a result, stocking up on food and water could help you and your family survive long-term. Moreover, starting a survival garden is another way of preparing for a financial meltdown that’s comparable to the Great Depression.
World War 3 Might Become A Reality
There’s growing speculation that we might be heading for world war 3. After Russia released its wrath upon Ukraine recently, there’s good reason to believe that a third world war might soon become a reality.
In this case, those who have invested in survival prepping will be substantially less affected by all the concerning impacts that may stem from a third world war.
Social Uprising
Social rebellions and uprisings often have the potential to lead to civil wars and general unrest. During such events, getting by can become a problem.
In countries such as South Africa, recent civil upsets have shut down supermarkets, barred roadways, and even interrupted food supply chains. America, Iran, and other countries are also prime locations for ongoing civil unrest.
There are several reasons to start prepping for survival now. All of the instances listed above are mostly unpredictable, and not being prepared during any of these concerning events could put your life in jeopardy.
