Oh okay. That would fit as a fantasist prepper. But so would a person that's 'learned' a skill, but never actually tried it. If someone has an air rifle, but has never shoot a rabbit, or skin one, or butchered, or cook it, then they'd also be considered a fantasist. There's a good possibility they'll cock it up the first few times they try. They'll stalk it too quickly, get excited when they are going to shoot and screw up the shot, gut it wrong and contaminate the meat, and the alike. But it's true of all skills.
If someone has not put something into practice, but believe you can do it, they'd be a fantasist prepper. There are guys who have 'learned' hundreds of skills, but have never practiced any of them. These are the fantasist preppers.
