The issue is the implied longing for the end of the world. Most people have the idea that a prepper does not fit into this world and spends all of his time and money on preparing for its demise where he thinks he will inherit the earth due to his forward thinking and planning!
The above type of prepper is prevalent and will feature on TV shows etc.
Then there are the normal kind of "prepper" (although I do not identify with the term) who keeps a sensible supply of things together that he will use anyway whilst camping/hunting but will be handy incase of a power shortage, adverse weather event etc.
Any realist would dread the end of society. Why would I want increased danger for my wife/child? I spend the majority of my time contributing towards society not planning for it to fail. But I have insurance in my kit. Just like I don't want to die but I have life insurance. I don't want to be burgled but I have home insurance.
