Growing numbers of Americans are preparing to survive a natural disaster or societal breakdown. Phot

A storage room stacked with food is seen at Fortitude Ranch in Mathias, West Virginia, on March 13, 2020. The narrow, worn track in West Virginia, close to the foothills of the Appalachians, leads to a camp set back in the woods, where a group of US survivalists began preparing for the collapse of civilization long before the arrival of the new coronavirus that has brought so much of the world to a halt. The Fortitude Ranch's motto embraces both End Times and more normal times: "Prepare for the Worst... Enjoy the Present!" Members have up to two weeks each year to revel in this rural retreat, enjoying nature, hiking or trout fishing in the appropriately named Lost River. (Photo by NICHOLAS KAMM / AFP)
