I think you could sort survivalist postures by locus of self-preservation concerns. The hard-preppers are me-and-my-family sovereign individual types. Everybody else in trade-or-fight zone. This affects their planning. For example undervaluing shared risk mitigation tactics.

There’s surprising similarities between stack survivalism and gig economy career management. Pragmatic prepping is a series of life gigs rather than work gigs. Transition from ordinary life to continuous partial collapse life is a bit like transition from paycheck to gig life.

In the gig economy, you see surge pricing coming, and you go live. In stack survivalist living you see a toilet paper outage coming and you stock up.

I wonder how many people with bunkers are pissed that things are bad but not bad enough to retreat to bunkers. If I had a bunker I think I’d unconsciously be hoping for a chance to use it. And kinda hoping for the Real Thing™ instead of just a bunch of stock-outs and slow mail.
