Hardcore survivalism is a lifestyle and philosophy focused on self-sufficiency and preparedness for emergencies or societal collapse. Practitioners, often called survivalists, emphasize skills such as foraging, hunting, and building shelters. They typically stockpile supplies, including food, water, and medical resources, to ensure they can survive independently in challenging situations. This approach often involves training in various survival techniques, such as wilderness survival, first aid, and self-defense. Hardcore survivalists may also engage in community-building efforts, forming networks with like-minded individuals to share knowledge and resources. Their goal is to be ready for any crisis, whether natural disasters or economic instability.
