Survivalism is the practice of preparing for a possible future event that may cause you or others to need to find your own food, shelter, and clothing.
There are many reasons why people choose to become survivalists. Some do it to prepare for natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods while others prepare for the eventuality that they will be forced to live off the grid for an extended time. There are many thriving survivalist communities around the world where members organize to prepare for emergencies, educate each other on
survival
skills, and share strategies for surviving in the face of adversity.
Grow Your Own Food
The practice of “prepping” is growing: the resurgence of the diy movement among millennials and apocalyptic preparation among the super-rich are indicators of this trend.
The tech elite is buying islands and stocking them with
food
, renewable energy systems, and ammunitions; hedge fund managers are purchasing land in remote areas and building independent infrastructure. According to the new yorker , survivalism has “expanded to more affluent quarters, taking root in silicon valley and new york city. ”.
As a species, us humans have a curious fondness for grim and gloomy art. From skull tattoos to death metal bands, there is an unrelenting fascination with the macabre and morbid, and films are no exception. It's surprisingly difficult to recall a genuinely gloomy film which didn't get inexorable approval. From the true life horrors of hotel rwanda and the elephant man through to the fictional bleakness of the road, nil by mouth and tyrannosaur, there is something peculiarly fascinating about watching unrelenting despair and observing the malevolence of humanity on the big screen. Intentionally set in an undefined year of the near future in an indeterminate part of the world, the human population has grown exponentially to the point of saturation; food is at a premium and from the movies sporadic intimations, society has regressed back to packs of hunter/gatherers.
A true survivalist stockpiles far more skills than supplies. If the gear or weapons cannot be carried on their back or in a rucksack, it is not a part of their shtf plan. Instead of stockpiling massive amounts of shelf-stable like preppers, survivalists plan to fish, snare, forage, and hunt for their meals. While rural preppers also grow up learning a lot of these same food acquisition skills that can be employed during a disaster, they are not relying on them either solely or as heavily as a survivalist. During a mega disaster, there will no longer be hunting seasons.
