Prepped to Survive: Prepared or Paranoid?

With the political climate boiling over and the specter of disaster looming, a surprising trend is taking root: prepping. Once dismissed as paranoid fringe behavior, preppers are now part of the mainstream. Dr. Phil delves into the psychology behind prepping, uncovering the motivations and fears that drive this growing movement. From nuclear war to civil unrest, the threats are real, and preppers are ready to face them head-on. Landon and Amanda are a prepper family, stocking their high-tech underground bunker in Indiana with enough supplies to withstand an apocalyptic event. Dr. Drew Miller says his Fortitude Ranch locations across the country are prepped for over 50 different scenarios that could collapse the US. Tylor is a survivalist in Utah who says preppers have been given a bad name. Dr. Bradley Garrett, a prepper researcher, gives insights into the psychology of prepping after studying people all over the world. But as tensions escalate and uncertainty mounts, Dr. Phil urges viewers to consider the true cost of preparedness. With humor and insight, he navigates the fine line between caution and obsession, reminding us all to live in the present while preparing for the worst. It's a gripping journey into the heart of survivalism, where the line between fear and foresight is razor-thin.
