Worth Wandering: Earth's Quandaries Examined

WHO? Doomsday Preppers!

Sarah Hemmert Jensen and Brody Hoelscher Episode 20

In this episode we look into the world of Doomsday Preppers. Who are they? (Are men or women more likely to be Preppers? Are people with OCD or other mental health challenges more likely to prep? etc.) What are they motivated by?  What are they most afraid of in a post apocalyptic world?  What do they stock pile? More importantly, what can we LEARN from their survivalist mentality? Especially now, in a world plagued by natural disasters,  potential Nuclear threats, and war (Stay Strong Ukraine !), we want to be prepared.

Listen to Sarah's experience accepting death when, in Hawaii with her Husband, a Ballistic Missile threat was headed their way.  Brody and Sarah have researched it all in this episode! From how big a nuclear blast would be to the best methods for surviving not just the initial blast (hint: you don't within the initial blast radius) but the fallout hours to weeks afterward to what to bring with you if you have time to prepare shelter!

It all here, and it's a little weird, a little scary but a whole LOT interesting!
