Prepper Mindset vs Normalcy Bias
Description
We compare prepper and non‑prepper mindsets through science, stories, and practical steps. We show how planning beats hope, how community reduces risk, and why small skills lower stress when systems fail.
• defining prepper vs non‑prepper attitudes
• amygdala alerts vs normalcy bias
• why hope is not a plan
• core pillars: water, food, heat, meds, comms, security
• skills that matter: first aid, preservation, radio basics
• community networks and resource sharing
• psychological benefits: control, mindfulness, resilience
• starter kit: 72‑hour supplies and rotation habits
• risks of over‑isolation and how to avoid it
• simple seasonal checklists and drills
