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. |
I would guess most people with vacation homes would just take their groceries with them. I can't see why a vacation home would be any more susceptible to power outages. Unless we are thinking 2 different things. Are you talking about cabins or actual homes? And actually unless you visit often, I don't think you would want to leave pouch food in a cabin in the woods. Animal factor. Now I have seen where they keep canned goods there.
Though most getaway homes stoves run on propane not electricity so canned foods would be just as good as the MRE's.
