I think it may also depend on ones profession... I do risk management (from an IT perspective) so dealing with/planning for disasters/disaster recovery is a daily part of my life...
I guess when you do it at work all day, you start thinking about your situation at home as well...
Plus, most of the kit is quite geeky/usefull if you go outdoors a lot... e.g. I'm currently looking for a new mountain tent - i.e. one that can deal with large loads from snow on top of it, and strong side winds... quite useful as an emergency shelter in case your house burns down (or has other issues)...
