Preppers are individuals or groups who actively prepare for potential emergencies or disasters. They often stockpile supplies, such as food, water, and medical items, to ensure they can sustain themselves during crises. Preppers may focus on various scenarios, including natural disasters, economic collapse, or societal unrest. Many preppers also engage in skills training, such as first aid, self-defense, and survival techniques. They often participate in communities or forums to share knowledge and resources. The prepper movement has gained popularity in recent years, driven by concerns about global instability and environmental issues.
