Speaking about her plan on YouTube's Truly V, she said, "I prep for anything, whether the grid were to collapse and the power turns off, if there's another pandemic, civil war, civil unrest or World War Three. We always prepare for the worst-case scenario and we always hope for the best-case scenario."

Krystal has also taken up an interesting job of teaching children how to prepare for emergencies and has been sharing tutorials on social media.

At present, her target is to get supplies for five years of survival and after that, she will aim to go "completely of grid". She has been picking the vegetables which grow in her garden and preserving them in jars.

According to her, the preparation is not all "doom and gloom."

"Civil unrest is one of the many reasons we prep. Here in the USA, we've seen riots and protests increase over time and it's just not something that we want to put our family in or around," Krystal said.

"My husband always thought it was a little extreme," she said.

The woman's husband Derek said, "My opinion changed around the pandemic - seeing the chaos. This is a skill that we need to pass down to our kids, colleagues, friends, etc."

Various netizens also appreciated the preparation of Krystal. Taking to YouTube, one individual said, "This is called adulting. We all need to do a bit of this."

"She's the most sane and wisest person," wrote another.

"It's quite impressive, as long as they don’t turn it into obsession and still have time to live in the present moment without worrying too much about the future," said a user.
