Self-sufficiency is highly valued in the LDS church and in Mormon culture. As part of that, Mormons are encouraged to build up an emergency supply of food, clothing, etc. (Ideally, that should be enough to provide for the family for a year, but it’s acknowleged that might not be feasible.) It’s not kept in a ‘apocalyptic’ sort of attitude, but it is meant for times of need such as natural disasters or even economic hardships. Personally, I have a shed full of food, water and ‘camping’ supplies. I’d be very content if I never have to use it, but I figure that if/when the next earthquake hits, I could provide for my neighbors and myself for a week or two if needed. It’s not anything mystical. To me, it’s a very practical and prudent way of living.
