Preparedness is a term used to describe a Boy Scout-like "Be prepared" philosophy, mentality-mindset and lifestyle which, both in earlier times and in 21st century Real America, is common among conservatives, libertarians, preppers-survivalists, gun nuts, and American Patriots.

Preparedness is when an individual, often referred to as a survivalist or prepper, or group has made adequate provisions or "preps" to furnish the necessities required to sustain life for the individual, family and/or community during and after an job loss, threat, depression, economic collapse, emergency situation, disaster, death or a SHTF-TEOTWAWKI-"Post Apocalyptic World-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 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 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-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-Post Apocalyptic World-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.

What is Survivalism and How Does it Differ from Prepping

"Survivalism is the skill of Bushcraft, and it holds within its own category things like hunting, trapping, fishing, fire starting, shelter making, water purifying, and more. It differs from prepping, because it is more orientated on living off the land with little or no equipment, while prepping tends to focus on using your gear to keep your lifestyle as happy and healthy as possible during catastrophes. There is a lot of crossover between the two terms, and the reason for that is because they go hand in hand. Prepping can never be realistic unless you have survivalism to supplement it and vice versa."[1]
