Pre-pandemic preppers tend to be associated with an irrational fear of “doomsday”, while those who stocked up on vital goods during the pandemic have been (often unfairly) portrayed as hoarders. We propose a new kind of prepping, without the anticipation of doomsday and the stigma of hoarding. Here are four ways to become a responsible prepper.

    preppers tend to be conspiratorial, often displaying traits such as low agreeableness, paranoia, and cynicism.

    low agreeableness

    Why would you agree to media and others trying to paint you like some crazy person.

      Well in The Last of Us he/they got depicted in a very positive way, I think. Not only in having his stuff ready (that was the least shown), but in knowledge how to survive (knowing where the main gas cutoff is, what to salvage, how to keep batteries, how to tend a garden). That episode (E3 I think) is the one I liked most.
