A January survey by personal finance site Finder.com found that 35% of nearly 2,400 people surveyed said they didn t need to buy supplies in the last year because they were already stocked up.
And the financial new website 24/7WallSt.com estimated in 2013 that there were then 3.7 million preppers in the U.S., comprising a market potentially worth billions of dollars.

Bulk food supplies with a 25-year shelf life
ReadyWise is a leading brand in the category of emergency food supplies, where truly committed preppers can spend upwards of almost $9,000 on a 4,320-serving supply of varied freeze-dried food pouches that the company says can last a single person over 500 days, or a family of four (two adults, two children) up to 126 days. The food even has a 25-year shelf life, so there s no need to dig in right away.
