The concepts of preparedness and survival in the face of modern catastrophes usually aren't discussed in a context that appeals to the average individual. Instead, preparedness is often associated with ultraconservatism, introverted personality types or stereotypes—such as "survivalists", or "gun nuts"—and even paramilitary groups. But the fact is that even though they don't want to be thought of as "Preppers", most individuals would like to be prepared when it comes to protecting themselves and their families.
