What preppers are stocking up on for COVID-19
Over the last few weeks, I’ve noticed some significant shifts in what people are buying to prepare for potential disruptions caused by the ongoing situation. It’s not just about food anymore; hand sanitizers and toilet paper have become scarce commodities across the U.S., and I can vouch for that—my local stores are completely out of both.
As someone who writes about survival and preparedness for The Prepared, I’ve seen firsthand how consumer behavior changes during times like these. One of the most popular categories among our readers has been respiratory protection. Reusable respirators, like the 3M 7501/37081(AAD), 7502/37082, and 7503/37083, are flying off the shelves. These models are great options if you already own them, but unfortunately, they're all out of stock until at least April. If you do have a compatible respirator, though, the 3M 2091 P100 filters and 3M 60926 gas/vapor cartridges remain available and are solid choices. Disposable respirators, like the 3M 8293 P100, are also in demand, though prices have skyrocketed on Amazon—they’re now selling for over $400!
Then there's the odd stuff, like DuPont Tyvek painter suits. Some folks seem determined to go full hazmat mode, and while these suits are practical, they're becoming harder to find. Prices are likely to spike soon, so if you're considering getting one, act fast.
On the hygiene front, basic supplies like hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes are nearly impossible to come by. Nitrile gloves are still somewhat available, but they’re definitely in high demand. It’s a good idea to keep these items stocked because you never know when they’ll be needed.
Water storage is another area where people are focusing their attention. The Reliance Rhino-Pak, Reliance Products Aqua-Tainer, and Scepter 5-gallon military water containers are all sold out online. The 2L Cnoc Outdoors Vector 2L water container remains an option, especially since it can connect to an inline filter. For purifying water, the Sawyer Mini filtration system and Aquatabs water purification tablets are top picks. Advanced options like the Survivor Filter and 55-gallon water preserver concentrate are also flying off the shelves.
When it comes to medical supplies, thermometers and pulse oximeters are crucial for monitoring your health if you suspect illness. The Caroune ear and forehead thermometer and CHOICEMMED Sky Blue finger pulse oximeter are must-haves, though the former is currently out of stock. Nasopharyngeal airway tubes are also seeing increased interest, which makes sense given their utility in emergencies. Bandages and stop-bleeding kits are always good to have, but they’re more for general preparedness than specific to the current situation.
In terms of food, the usual suspects dominate the list: cans of black beans, peanut butter, dry milk, canned chicken, sardines, rice, and Mountain House emergency food kits. Electrolyte powders are also big sellers, which isn’t surprising given their importance during illness. Interestingly, some readers are picking up Vitaminwater XXX, possibly as a precautionary measure.
Other essentials include portable chargers like the Novoo 10,000 mAh model, LED headlamps, and the Fallkniven DC3 diamond knife sharpener. Books like the SAS Survival Handbook and Just in Case: How to Be Self-Sufficient When the Unexpected Happens are perennial favorites. And let’s not forget the Rakuen titanium spork—it’s a must-have for anyone serious about survival gear.
Finally, there are some quirky buys, like the Go, Dog. Go! Best Nest Fertility Formula for Men and Bio-Quinone Q10 Gold. I can only assume these are for long-term lockdown scenarios, though I’m still scratching my head over the fertility formula.
So, what are you stocking up on? Have you noticed any unusual trends in your area? Let me know in the comments—I’d love to hear from fellow preppers!
