Flammable moat?! This was an option? You’re telling me I could have a flammable moat all this time?!
The panic industry, particularly in America, is apparently in a bit of a boom. There’s been a rise in purchases of many panic like materials such as escape tunnels, secret/hidden arsenals, and yes the ever epic flammable moat.
By the way before everyone, like me, immediately starts nodding and going “yeah that makes sense with what’s happening over there right now.”. We learn all this from a survey that was conducted way back in 2023 in the post covid world where it’s since been found that around 33% of Americans are prepping for a doomsday scenario or attack in 2023. Over $11 billion worth of material had been purchased on panic prepping within a 12-month time span.
It’s intense. Personally I’d love to see what the numbers are now given that conflict has grown across the world.
Okay I’m writing this part after I finished this article and I had started looking for a thumbnail when I found the plans that a safe services company in America had mocked up for a flammable moat, with rotating security bridge. And honestly it’s so much better than I imagined take a look!
Double A Chattery, a podcast by all round legend Amanda Keller tackles the topic of the growing panic and fear in the world (as well as the flammable moat). Amanda and guest star psychologist Anita McGregor break down the 2023 survey and try to understand both the reaction of people purchasing these things, as well as what we can do as individuals and how to handle it.
