We started prepping, really prepping, in 2008. Although that was doubtless late in the game for those who ‘saw it coming’ in the 90’s and proved it even more by not getting rid of their preps after Y2K fizzeled into nothing, the economic situation in 2008 made it more than just a hypothetical for us.
