Summary

Preparing for the worst might sound a little paranoid, but more people are embracing the prepper mindset and buying emergency supplies.

What's behind the rise of prepping, and why are so many people getting ready for the unexpected? Presenter: David Harper Producer: Victoria Hastings You can email the team: [email protected]
