This article is about the subculture based around preparation for survival after social upheaval. For the belief about the afterlife, see Survivalism (life after death)

A survivalist is a person who anticipates a potential disruption in the continuity of local, regional or worldwide society, and takes steps to survive in the resulting unpredictable situation. Some survivalists take an interest in survival in the wilderness or at sea, while others look for opportunities to gain practice and training by assisting in government volunteer organizations. Still others look at historical incidents, either localized or affecting large regions, and put extra effort and funds into preparing themselves with all the tools and information needed to handle repeats of those same events.

The way in which survivalists prepare for some future loss while maintaining access to society is said to differentiate them from other people who endure extreme situations, such as those who live in very remote or isolated locations, commandos and guerrillas, and subsistence farmers.
