Survivalism is a lifestyle and philosophy focused on preparing for emergencies, disasters, or societal collapse. Survivalists often stockpile food, water, and essential supplies, and may learn skills such as foraging, hunting, and first aid. The goal is to be self-sufficient and resilient in the face of potential crises. Many survivalists advocate for a strong understanding of wilderness survival techniques and may participate in training programs or workshops. This movement can be influenced by various factors, including natural disasters, economic instability, or political unrest, prompting individuals to take proactive measures to ensure their safety and well-being.
