Surely "Off Gridders" and "Smallholders" are about as long term as you can get?

So not necessarily as rare as a "Do-Do" or a "Dinosaur"

But I think this goes to show the wide diversity that exists within prepping and survivalism - perhaps part of the reason for the many changing names/labels that are used as per John's original post.
