Bug out Bag. Do you have one?

I understand this is backpacking forums, but i've noticed every time i look at hiking gear, backpacking loading techniques, hiking trails, etc. on forums and youtube i start to stumble on branches of self-defense, BOB, stocking up in freeze-dried food #10 Mountain House (that can last 30-years), solar-energy, survival gardening, Survival kits, and defense (e.g. fire arms).

Question #2: Are you noticing a trend? (e.g. self-defense, preparedness, planning for the worst) or has this hobby been around and i just noticed it?
