I'm David Harper, and we're looking at the growing popularity of preppers.
So if not just individuals, but also organisations and even nations need to be prepared, there's a lot of stuff to stockpile.
And where there's a need, there's usually a company willing to sell it.
Prepare today for peace of mind tomorrow.
Be ready.
Be wise.
If you've got clean water sorted and some useful gadgets, you'll need food.
And the days of emergency rations consisting of some cans slowly rusting on a shelf have gone.
Tell me, first of all, if you would, a little bit about ReadyWise.
What is it you provide?
What's the kind of thinking behind the company?
And this is a small red waterproof bag all tied up and ready to go.
Because a few years ago, we used to think of this as quite a niche product that only a few people with a certain mindset maybe would have a need for.
It's quite convenient having this freeze-dried food, but you do still need a clean water supply to make it work.
How do you see this market expanding?
The range of people buying this has changed a lot, even in the last few years.
Is this going to become an everyday thing that everybody has?
Now, that could be the answer, but the ReadyWise bag that Kim showed me cost around $120.
And if you want a year's supply, well, that would cost you more than $3,000.
