How-to books about survival and prepping are everywhere in 2020. The prepping world had been growing more mainstream for years, but the Covid-19 pandemic has sent demand for survival information into overdrive. In March 2020, when no one knew exactly where the situation was headed, ordinary Americans found themselves imagining a world where they needed the skills to survive a disaster. States went on lockdown, some grocery items became scarce, tensions rose, and many folks realized they were underprepared.
