So you can quit being disconcerting.

And be prepared to start seeing a bunch of ads for MRE, guns and ammo the next time you bring google up!
Preppers have been around since at least the early 70's, so this isn't exactly new. It's really become a big industry. A lot of the backpacker's freeze dried meal companies are moving into the prepper market in a big way.
I suspect that some people who have vacation homes might keep a stock of such food stuffs for potential power outages and the like.
Of course, before we point the finger too much at preppers, I would note that safe rooms have because an item for city dwellers as well.
