I have a cousin like that, I believe they call themselves "Preppers". In addition to all the spy gear, they stock up for end of the world scenarios. Like survivalists. They usually have guns, spy gear, military grade survivalist gear, etc...
There's nothing wrong with being prepared I guess, but I do think they take it too far when they start preaching that the end of the (modern) world is coming soon. As if it will happen in our lifetime. I think that part is nonsense. They usually believe in conspiracies which is how/why the end will happen (illuminati, big corporations, NWO, bilateral trade commission, free masons, secret plots, etc) but they always fail to rationalize the "why". People who are rich and powerful want to stay rich and powerful. Even if those organizations actually existed, ending the world is the last thing they'd want. They want the status quo, they want to keep their money and power.
