when does a preper become a raider

[Skean Dhude]

This is my view of what I think you mean.

A prepper is someone who is preparing before an event for an event. He will purchase, build or grow his own supplies and store them away.

After an event he will then live on his supplies whilst he rebuilds. This is likely to involve moving on to land or homes that the prepper does not own. That is not raiding in my view.

Raiders however are people that go around looking for opportunities to steal and take what they want without payment.

Preppers will barder and trade for what we want by default. Preppers may turn into raiders if things go downhill and they are forced into desperate measures or if the prepper is of that mindset.

It is no different to people today. Some steal, some don't, some are driven to it by events. Our morals keep us on the right path.
