Survivalism is a movement of individuals or groups (called survivalists or preppers) who are actively preparing for emergencies, including possible disruptions in social or political order, on scales from local to international. Survivalists often acquire emergency medical and self-defense training, stockpile food and water, prepare to become self-sufficient, and build structures (e.g., a survival retreat or an underground shelter) that may help them survive a catastrophe.
The origins of the modern Survivalist movement in the United Kingdom and the United States include government policies, threats of nuclear warfare, religious beliefs, and writers who warned of social or economic collapse in both non-fiction and apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction.
The Cold War era Civil Defense programs promoted public atomic bomb shelters, personal fallout shelters, and training for children, such as the Duck and Cover films. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) long directed its members to store a year's worth of food for themselves and their families in preparation for such possibilities; but the current teaching advises only a three-month supply.
Kelley and I were talking recently with some associates in the community and they could not believe that we enjoyed and did not mind being together for days/weeks/months straight.

Are You Safe In Your Neighborhood If SHTF? In todays society we don't really know our neighbors like our grandparents knew theirs. If SHTF, and they were not pepared, it could get very dangerous for the prepper in the neighborhood. It could be a scary time for the individual that prepared and stored food and supplies. Do you know your neighbors? They will either be friend or foe if society collapses. Do you know which one they will be? I'm a prepper and I have fun creating lots of content. Some content is about prepping and survival, and some content is just about daily stuff.

This usually involved superior local information monitoring, knowing the traffic routes of where the enforcing agencies will setup the blockades and being prepared to get out on foot if that it what it takes to get outside of the danger zone.
In the future water -- not gold -- might be the SHTF currency.
