People all around the world are making preparations for what they see as a coming economic disaster. People who previously looked at survivalists as "whackos" are now stockpiling essential food and supplies and are frequenting survival blogs and websites to learn as much as they can to prepare for what lies ahead.
While most survivalists are portrayed as tinfoil hat waring wackos, reality is most of them are average everyday Americans who just want to make sure their families are safe. People are really frightened about the future. The current state of the economy has many people wondering what they would do if things got bad, really bad. Survival Web sites like http://offgridsurvival.com have seen a large increase in the number of people who are taking interest in the survivalist life style. Being a Survivalist, which was once looked at as being weird and unnecessary has actually started to go Mainstream.
It s really not that weird, up until a hundred years ago, most of the stuff talked about on survival web sites was common knowledge. Modern technology has really dumbed people down in many way. People have forget what it takes to survive and they know it. I think that is why shows like The Colony and web sites like http://offgridsurvival.com are growing in popularity. Americans are starting to realize that the country is very unprepared for real hardship.
How many Americans could survive more than a week without being able to run to the nearest Big Box Superstore? How many people know where to find food, water, or basic supplies outside of a grocery store? The world needs to take survival a little bit more serious, and they need to do it before its to late.
