Doomsday Prepping (Part 1): 7 Reasons Why It Is Making A Comeback

Could you survive nine meals until total chaos erupts? Here are seven reasons why prepping is making a comeback today.

Prepping has gone mainstream. This is a result of increased uncertainty.

Is World War Three finally about to kick off in two European hotspots? Are you worried that your food will arrive at your grocery store? How will your family survive if disaster strikes? Here are seven reasons why prepping is having a comeback.

Fear Of World War 3

There is fear that World War 3 will become a geopolitical event taking place in the Middle East (Israel/Palestine), Eastern Europe (Ukraine/Russia), and potentially in the Pacific Ocean (China/Taiwan). The worst-case scenario would be nuclear armageddon. The countries could bomb their enemies.

A subtle, more nefarious warfare is already happening each day. It is a silent war. It is an ongoing war. It is a more insidious war. It is fifth generation warfare.

Fear, marketing, propaganda, gaslighting, and psychology are standard fifth generation warfare weapons. The battle is over control of your perception, opinion, and the information you consume, and making issues black and with to divide people politically.

How many of the things you believe are truly your ideas? Or were they put there by someone else? Are you afraid of something real or imaginary? How do you know those numbers and statistics you read online or saw flashed on the television are correct? How much of the information you were taught in school happened in history the way the textbook said it did? Winston Churchill famously said, “History is written by the victors.” How do you know anything you read, see, or watch is authentic? How could deepfakes encourage propaganda? How can you tell if a picture circulating was made by artificial intelligence or not?

Welcome to fifth generation warfare. Your mind is the battlefield in the Information Age.

Jim Halpert explains that WW3 will not be a traditional war but a psychological war using fifth generation warfare weapons.

Supply Chain Issues

The other problem is supply chain issues. Trucking companies are losing drivers. Ports got behind during COVID with receiving orders. People were fighting in stores over toilet paper.

What will happen when people are no longer fighting over toilet paper but they are now fighting over food and survival?

The growing problem of supply chain issues could make getting food delivered to your local grocery store more challenging. There were port supply chain disruptions in 2021. Trucking companies are closing down. Truckers are the people who transport food to grocery stores. Food does not magically appear on the shelves of your local grocery store.

Economic Uncertainty

There is the growing problem of economic uncertainty. Inflation is not going away. A recession is on its way if it is not already here. People are starting to be laid off. People are becoming uncertain.

Investing in the stock market may be one way to beat inflation. Another way is to buy non-perishable foods. You know you will need to eat. Buy foods that you enjoy before prices continue to go up due to inflation.

An inflation calculator estimates the total cumulative price change due to inflation at 18.92%. A woman kept track of the price of the same goods over three years. The cost of her groceries went up 38%.

By investing in non-perishable food you know you would eat, you could have had nearly a 40% return on your investment. That is higher than the stock market. You cannot eat digits on a screen that are in the stock market. You can eat food.
