Is "preppers" the PC name for what used to be called "survivalists"?

Once I was crazy, now I'm cool.

Of the Troops & For the Troops

I've never been paranoid. I was raised my a child of the Great Depression. Mom could make anything from nothing at all, and made sure her children never took anything for granted. We were all taught to be prepared for the worst, while believing the best is yet to come. Even the boys had to learn to cook, sew, and keep a household. We plant gardens, know how to can food, and everybody had to learn to hunt & fish. This could come in handy pretty soon, the way things look now. I grew up in the '60s, under the constant threat of nuclear war. Seriously, the history books made the '60s & '70s look like a big party, but that wasn't the case for the lower middle class. It wasn't until the late '80s that I first heard the term "survivalist". Except for digging bunkers, and blowing stuff up, it was pretty much our lifestyle.

directed at you.

That it's not paranoia when the really ARE out to get you ;)

I just felt that my original post left me open to misunderstanding, so I thought I'd give a little background to make my answer make a little more sense. In the 19th century, survivalists were known as "pioneers", or even "homesteaders". Now, there's been yet another name change to one that's more palatable to TV viewers.

Is this not true?
