I see it now, but I was really referring to the emergence of the Emergency preparedness market. It's not just aimed at off the rocker nuclear fall-out wackos. They are going after average Americans that have the occasional sheep mentality when it come to (enter emergency here) breakout panic. so they don't have to do all the prepping, and just buy the bag. I think these bags are great business ideas.

Wife just read a book targeting females re: an H1N1 outbreak. She finished it and said that she fully supports me having a BOB and stockpiling ammo now

The market does make sense. I'm not talking about the hardcore, "move off the grid, permanently" people, but think of all the high-profile public disasters, massive F4 and F5 tornadoes, Katrina, Rita, Sandy - wherever you live in the U.S., you can have some sort of crisis or emergency that causes you to evaluate whether or not staying in your home (mudslides, wildfires, loss of infrastructure, etc.) and, if you need to leave in a hurry, this sort of planning the basics - food, water, medical supplies, temporary shelter, basic set of tools, duct tape, weapons, ammo, alternative power supplies, fuel, etc., is not wasted effort. It can possibly save your life - or at least get you a jump on a crisis response.
Everyone would be well served by contemplating, and doing some minimal planning for an unexpected crisis.

You are about 4 years late. Bug out bags had a big market then. It's quited down a lot the last few years.
