Episode 30 - Salty Preppers

Preparing for the impending catastrophic end of the world has become a hobby and obsession for a portion of the population known as “Preppers”.  Sales of “survival” gear and training for catastrophic scenarios have never been as lucrative.  Even as this population marks more potential situations averted than any before it, we remain fixated upon the seeming inevitability of a coming collapse.
However, as we stockpile goods beyond our wildest needs, and buy gadgets never tested in a real-world scenario, do we ever stop to consider what things would prove the most useful of all?
Do we ever question the stories we are told and tell ourselves about the sorts of threats we would face in a realistic event?
In this episode we discuss the nefarious motivations that drive some of us to plan for the worst, even as we delve into the most important things to remember that cannot be bought and stored up at all.  You may just be surprised what the most powerful weapon of all turns out to be!
