A mom-of-three spent 10 years and $20,000 preparing her family for potential disasters, including World War III.
In a world full of uncertainty, a mother of three has spent the last ten years getting ready for big global problems, especially the chance of World War III.
Krystal has dedicated the past decade to preparing her family for any potential disaster, spending over $20,000 on her doomsday preparations.
In a recent episode of Truly’s YouTube series My Extraordinary Family, Krystal shares her journey and the rationale behind her prepping efforts.
What did the mom-of-three prepare for her family on doomsday?
One of her primary focuses has been on food storage.
She has stockpiled non-perishable items that can last for extended periods.
Canned goods, dried fruits, and grains make up much of her inventory, ensuring that her family will not go hungry if access to food becomes limited.
Additionally, she has invested in water purification systems and bottled water to address the critical need for clean drinking water during emergencies.
Beyond food and water, this mother understands the importance of safety and self-defense.
She has taken courses on personal safety and has equipped her home with security measures.
This proactive approach not only provides peace of mind but also empowers her to protect her family when necessary.
“I prep for anything,” she revealed.
“Whether the grid was to collapse and the power turns off if there’s another pandemic, civil war, civil unrest or World War Three.
“We always prepare for the worst-case scenario and we always hope for the best-case scenario.”
Krystal also connects to others to exchange tips and resources
Furthermore, community support has played a role in her preparations.
She has connected with other like-minded individuals who share her concerns.
By exchanging tips and resources with fellow preppers, she has expanded her knowledge and improved her strategies for survival.
“My opinion towards prepping and being prepared changed right around [the time of] the pandemic,” Derrick admitted.
Why does the mom-of-three prepare for her family on doomsday?
Despite the significant financial and time investments, she believes that doomsday prepping is a responsible choice.
It is not driven by fear but by a desire to ensure her children’s well-being.
Preparing for the worst, she feels more secure and in control of her family’s future.
Additionally, she also emphasizes the importance of mental resilience.
Teaching her children how to remain calm and resourceful in emergencies is crucial.
The mom hopes to equip them with the skills they need to face challenges confidently when she instills these values.
Social media reactions
After showing off her Civil War doomsday supplies, many people online are amused by her preps.
Some viewers were amazed at how much she had stored and the detail of her setup.
Others were curious and even inspired to start their own preparations.
Instead of enjoying the life she has now, all she’s done is worried about what’s going to happen further down the line.
It’s not really a healthy way to live mentally, one user said.
That’s not so much prepping for the apocalypse, it’s more like actively hoping for it lol, the second user joked.
It’s smart. Not just as a war scenario, but just in general. As long as everything is stored properly!
Otherwise, it was all for nothing! Water and long-storage food can never steer you wrong.
A good understanding of preserving and foraging/ hunting couldn’t hurt either, the third user commented.
If you’ve ever watched a doomsday movie, I’m the guy who always dies first. no need for me to prep, another wrote.
She’ll probably have the last laugh though, someone said.
