when does a preper become a raider

[NorthernRaider]

I think most survivalist / preppers would rarely become forcemen survivalists, raiders or brigands because of two factors.

One, most of them stockpile or cache enough food and supplies to live through short term and mid term crisise, also many of them are becoming ardent growers of their own food.
Two, Again most preppers have gone through the Mapping process and made sunstantial lists of where usuable goods and materials can be found, on top of the modest supplies of logistics most of us keep anyway.

I tend to think we are more likely to become scavengers and salvagers that raiders or forcemen survivalists, but hopefully by that time we will be bartering, trading and rebuilding instead of predating on other survivors.

At the end of the day though its going to be the toughest and best prepared who will survive.
