survivallikes

survivallikes is a term that has emerged in online communities, particularly within discussions related to preparedness, outdoor recreation, and survivalism. It describes a general affinity or appreciation for the concepts and practices associated with survivalism and self-reliance, without necessarily implying full-fledged adherence to the lifestyle or a strict belief system. Individuals who identify with or use the term "survivallikes" often express an interest in developing practical skills such as knot-tying, fire-starting, shelter construction, navigation, and basic first aid.

This interest can stem from various motivations. For some, it's about enhancing their enjoyment and safety during outdoor activities like camping, hiking, or backpacking. They might be drawn to the idea of being more self-sufficient and capable when away from modern conveniences. For others, the appeal lies in the intellectual challenge and problem-solving aspects of survival scenarios. They may enjoy learning about historical survival techniques or exploring theoretical preparedness strategies.

The "likes" aspect of the term suggests a curated interest rather than a complete immersion. It implies that individuals find certain elements of survivalism appealing and may incorporate those elements into their lives in a practical, perhaps hobbyist, manner. This could involve acquiring specific gear, reading books on the subject, or practicing skills in a controlled environment. It generally does not indicate a belief in impending societal collapse or a complete rejection of modern society, though it can overlap with preparedness discussions that do touch upon such concerns. The term is informal and used to describe a spectrum of interest, from casual curiosity to dedicated skill-building for recreational purposes.
