What are people's thoughts on them?
Apparently the survivalist movement is growing, I find it fascinating but also somewhat scary when there are people who have 10,000+ round of ammo for weapons in their basements in preparation for 2012-esque disasters.
Survivalism is a movement of individuals or groups (called survivalists or sometimes preppers) who are actively preparing for future possible disruptions in local, regional, national, or international social or political order. Survivalists often prepare for this anticipated disruption by having emergency medical training, stockpiling food and water, preparing for self-defense and self-sufficiency, and/or building structures that will help them survive or "disappear" (e.g., a survival retreat or underground shelter).
Anticipated disruptions include the following:
-Clusters of natural disasters, patterns of apocalyptic planetary crises, or Earth Changes (tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards, severe thunderstorms, etc.)
-A disaster caused by the activities of humankind (chemical spills, release of radioactive materials, nuclear or conventional war, oppressive governments, etc.)
-The general collapse of society (caused by the shortage or unavailability of electricity, fuel, food, water, etc.)
-Financial disruption or economic collapse (caused by monetary manipulation, hyperinflation, deflation, depression, etc.)
-A sudden pandemic spreading through the world population
-Widespread chaos or some other unexplained apocalyptic event
