Some Mormons believe a bishop will one day announce it's time to gather at secret tent cities. Jess and Hannah break down the real cost — and history — behind LDS prepper culture.
On this "What Do You Know Wednesday," Hannah quizzes Jess on modern LDS prepper culture — a world beyond basement food storage. They dig into "the call out" belief, the rumored gathering points in Rexburg, Idaho and Cardston, Alberta, a firsthand account from an anonymous former prepper interviewed by East Idaho News, and the real dollar cost of a year's supply of food, canvas tents, and charcoal for a family of five. They also trace it back to the Law of Consecration in 1830s Missouri. It's absurd, it's expensive, and somehow it's still cheaper than you'd think — right up until it isn't.
