Defining prepping and survivalism (an attempt anyway)

[Tartar Horde]

"The Prince" as one of my History tutors called it "A manual for despots" the essence of which is "if you can't be respected or loved, it is better to be feared".
Regarding the debate above, defining Prepping and Survivalism is a subjective position, being dependent on how you personally see and understand it, it is different things to different people. The subject is not set in stone, and we all take our own paths through it.
