'''Preparedness''' is a term used to describe a [[Boy Scouts|Boy Scout]]-like "Be prepared" [[philosophy]], [[mentality]]-[[mindset]] and [[lifestyle]] which, both in earlier times and in [[21st century]] [[Real America]], is common among [[conservative]]s, [[libertarian]]s, [[prepper]]s-[[survivalist]]s, [[gun nut]]s, and [[American Patriots]].
Preparedness is when an [[individual]], often referred to as a [[survivalist]] or [[prepper]], or group has made adequate [[provision]]s or "[[:Category:Survivalism|preps]]" to furnish the necessities required to sustain [[life]] for the individual, [[family]] and/or [[community]] during and after an [[unemployment|job loss]], [[threat]], [[depression]], [[economic collapse]], [[emergency]] situation, [[disaster]], [[death]] or a [[SHTF]]-[[TEOTWAWKI]]-"[[Apocalypse]]" scenario.
These necessities required to sustain life can be grouped into general categories such as [[sustenance]], [[shelter]], [[transportation]], [[communication]], [[knowledge]], [[medicine]], [[safety]], etc.
Individuals or groups involved in preparedness can be active members of [[society]] and community or seek [[geography|geographic]] and personal/group [[isolation]] in a [[remote]] [[wilderness]] area. See [[Survivalist retreat]] and [[Bugging out]].
A common characteristic, [[value]] or [[virtue]] among [[conservatives]] and many individuals involved in preparedness is the [[tenet]] of "[[personal responsibility]]".

In essence, being [[prepared]] means [[:Category:Survivalism|stocking up]] and learning [[skills]] related to the "8-B's". Prepping is often referred to with the [[mnemonic]] called the 8-B's: "[[Beans]]-[[Bullets]]-[[Bandaids]]-[[Books]]-[[Bullion]]-[[Battery (electrical)|Batteries]]-[[Brotherhood]]-[[Being]]", as well as the 3-B's "[[Bean, Bullets, Bandaids]]" and many other similar variations.
==History==
Early forms of preparedness were generally termed "[[survivalism]]" and often espoused a [[doctrine]] of geographic isolation and rare contact with mainstream society or community.
There is a general sense that the concept of survivalism has for many evolved into the concept of ''preparedness'' - being prepared to meet the variety of situations that may occur before, during and after a job loss, threat, depression, economic collapse, emergency situation, disaster, death or a SHTF-TEOTWAWKI-Apocalypse scenario.
Preparedness promotes the doctrine that there is more to “[[survival]]” than merely surviving. It encourages personal [[responsibility]], a sense of community with other individuals and often leads to the creation of formal and informal groups.
