Prepparar

Prepparar is a term used to describe individuals or groups who prepare for potential societal disruptions or catastrophic events. These events can range from natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, or pandemics, to man-made crises like economic collapse, civil unrest, or cyberattacks. The core motivation behind preppararism is a desire for self-reliance and survival in the face of perceived threats.

Preparations undertaken by prepparar can vary widely. Common activities include stockpiling non-perishable food, water, medical supplies, and other essential goods. Many also focus on developing practical skills such as first aid, gardening, hunting, self-defense, and navigation. Some prepparar choose to relocate to more remote or defensible locations, and may construct specialized shelters or bug-out locations. The level of preparation can range from basic emergency kits to elaborate, long-term survival plans.

The motivations and methods of prepparar are diverse. Some are driven by a deep concern for personal safety and the well-being of their families, while others may be influenced by specific ideologies or beliefs about future societal collapse. The term "prepparar" itself is often used colloquially and can sometimes carry negative connotations, though many individuals who engage in preparedness activities do so out of a rational concern for emergencies. The movement is not monolithic, and individuals involved may have vastly different approaches and levels of commitment.
