Top 6 types of preppers: Learn more about them before SHTF

Just as there are many different ways to prep, there are also different kinds of preppers. From the lone wolf type to the typical prepper, knowing about the different kinds can help you get along with them, which can offer some benefits after SHTF.

Below are some of the things you need to know about some of the most popular types of preppers. (h/t to TruePrepper.com)

Typical prepper

The average or “typical” prepper is the most common type. They share some characteristics with other types of preppers. When it comes to preparedness, they hit all the marks close to the middle:

• They have a detailed emergency preparedness plan.
• They are familiar with local threats and regional risks.
• They have enough supplies for at least two months.
• They don’t usually talk about preparedness unless they are with family and friends that they can trust.

Typical preppers may be motivated by a sense of duty and preservation instead of passion. This means prepping is something they need to do as a responsibility for themselves or their family.

Doomsday preppers

Doomsday preppers were brought into the limelight thanks to a reality TV show that was also called “Doomsday Preppers.” The show, which aired from 2012 to 2014, featured specific doomsday events and individual preparedness plans related to said events.

As the name implies, they tend to focus on doomsday or apocalyptic events. However, the typical prepper is more well-rounded and prepares for a variety of small- and large-scale situations that they are more likely to encounter due to their location or lifestyle.

Lone wolf prepper

The lone wolf prepper will usually spend their time and money preparing to bug in or bug out solo, or perhaps with immediate family. They also plan for no external support from the government or other sources.

While being a lone wolf has its pros and cons, in most cases the disadvantages can outweigh the benefits in the long run. After all, doing anything alone for long periods can put a significant strain on your physical, mental and emotional health.

Off-grid homesteader

Going off-grid requires a lot of dedication because an off-grid homestead requires a lot of preparedness resources and skills that you will need daily.

Some preppers aim to have an entirely self-sufficient homestead because it offers freedom, flexibility and enough room to accomplish other projects they want to accomplish.

Wilderness survivalist

Wilderness survivalists rely on their skills to survive in the woods after SHTF. However, not a lot of them can accomplish this.

Some survivalists and preppers plan to rely on natural resources in long-term survival situations, but solely relying on them is not that easy. Wilderness survivalists learn different outdoor survival and primitive skills.

Urban prepper

Despite the name, some urban preppers aren’t always from an urban area. Some of them may simply have plans to interact with their urban counterparts after SHTF and they are more focused on civil unrest situations. Those from cities usually have a bug-out plan to evacuate if things go south.
