*CLICK-CLACK* Don't you move a goddamn muscle. Thought you could sneak up on me, huh? Naw, I'm too sharp for that. 'Cause I've been preparing. Preparing... for them. They're coming, but they're not gonna get me, not without a fight! Who's "they"? Doesn't matter! It could be an Alien Invasion, a Zombie Apocalypse, Black Helicopters from the gub'mint, the feral dregs of humanity, a divine being, some ancient evil or even butterflies! (Those are some nasty bastards.) But whatever they are, I'm prepared! I have me this bowie knife, tinfoil hat, good old two-barreled Betsy (plus her extended family), and a year's supply of food and water... What? "Share"? "Help other survivors"? It's a dog-eat-smaller-yappy-dog world out there, "friend", and if ya ain't strong enough to defend yourself... Oh, I see what you're about, you want to stick a crazy dart in my neck and steal my stuff, don't you?! That's right, back away from the crazy person... Crazy-Prepared like a fox! You want me to help you fight them? You can't fight them any more than an ant fights an elephant, everyone who tries ends up getting slaughtered! Ain't seen bloodshed like that since the war... "Calm down"? I am calm! I am the very picture of calm! And rational, too! Wait a minute... you're one of THEM! Don't you go anywhere, I'll go get the rest of my Untrusting Community to lynch you! No, better yet, my militia buddies! No matter how many orphans you save! I'll do what it takes to survive! |

The artilleryman from The War of the Worlds (1898) is an Unbuilt Trope version of this; he makes grandiose plans for building a (literal) underground resistance and is brushed off by the narrator when he realizes that the artilleryman is all talk and no action. | |

Bill from The Last of Us. The crazy part is Downplayed but still certainly there, with his paranoia, anti-social behaviour and eccentric talking to himself. The survivalist part is definitely there: through liberal use of booby traps, a huge stockpile of supplies, and being utterly Crazy-Prepared, he's able to hold down an entire town single-handedly. Seriously, the whole town of Lincoln, Massachusetts is explicitly referred to as his. | |

The Halls, a.k.a. the family of snipers, have this going on as well. W* The first F.E.A.R. game had Norton Mapes, a fat guy who was always locking himself in (and you out) to save himself from the bad guys at your expense. He gets killed at the end although in the un-canon expansion Extraction Point he is shown to have survived it and returns to do the same Crazy Survivalist act all over again. Though, in truth, he was being less like a Crazy Survivalist, and more like a Fat Bastard and Dirty Coward. And intentionally trying to murder you.ell, not Thomas, but otherwise... | |

In the anime of Desert Punk, Kanta ends up being this to a disturbing extreme. During the second season, there are hints due to his views on the world as a survivalist and realist. It all eventually leads to Kanta becoming a government agent and hunting down his friends. He much prefers that people stand on their own two legs with just enough for survival, which the corrupt government does manage to do... barely to the idealist movement his friends joined. Oh, and he killed almost an entire family, the same family that made his winch because they saw his face and could tell people that he was still alive. Oh boy, did he ever cross the Moral Event Horizon. He even seems to admit it. | |

Friday the 13th (2009): Where most versions just present serial killer Jason Voorhees as an immortal zombie-esque killing machine, this version is actually surprisingly capable, having lived on his own in the former Camp Crystal Lake for almost thirty years, setting various traps for his targets, building a complex tunnel network, and even demonstrating enough skill with a bow and arrow to shoot a man in the head while his target was on a fast-moving boat. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: In the Just Before the End prologue, one of the couples of the Finnish family is this. They decide to have a two-week "family vacation" on their private boat right when the Rash epidemic is supposed to hit the area in which they live and feed the rest of their family frozen pizzas that have been in the freezer for a year due to being part of the food supplies they keep in case some kind of disaster occurs. Their other adult family members treat this as a quirk shared by the couple, but this is the kind of story where such people turn out to be Properly Paranoid. | |

Half-Life 2: Father Grigori of Ravenholm certainly fits the trope. The sole remaining human resident of Ravenholm, armed with his trusty rifle Annabelle, he sets traps all over the place to tend to his "flock" — consisting entirely of assorted headcrab zombies that are all that remain of the town's residents. Unlike many crazy survivalists, Grigori is actually a very helpful character, who saves your life several times and even has the common decency to provide you with your very own shotgun so you can help with him with his good work. | |

In Harry Potter, Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody's catchphrase is "Constant vigilance!" His crazy magical eye that can see through most solid objects and magical barriers (like Harry's Invisibility Cloak) only enables his Crazy Survivalist behavior further, as does his sizable collection of magical artifacts for detecting and fighting evil. Though he has good reason to act this way: he's an Auror (Dark Wizard fighter) and has lost a leg, an eye, and a chunk of his nose on the job. And possibly, at one time, a buttock. | |

An episode of Elementary has Holmes and Watson investigating the murder of a doctor who turned out to be a prepper. Watson notes he doesn't seem the type but Holmes says that the man is "a more odious version," the rich survivalists convinced the poor will rise up against them. They uncover the man had invested $100,000 in a "high-class" bunker meant for the wealthy and check it out, seeing a lavish area complete with game room. It takes Sherlock two minutes to figure out the whole place is a facade: The filtration unit vents are covered with dust, the concrete coming apart, mold seeping in, a brick wall behind the "generator room" door, and the "supplies" all just empty boxes. The place couldn't stand up to a strong storm, let alone the Apocalypse, and the guy running it has been scamming millions off of survival nuts. The two check into a suspect who reveals he's actually a journalist investigating the place himself. He shares his story which opens with the observation "Of course, a survival bunker for the rich is a scam, these are the people who push every man for himself." He relates that this scam is common as, for supposedly paranoid people, survivalists can be incredibly naive. They will buy the line of "top secret experts" involved keeping them from knowing too much but there should be some paper trail for buying thousands of galleons of fuel as well as medical supplies. This leads to the discovery of the killer being the doctor's partner as the doctor (needing to get drugs for a gang) had raided the bunker only to find no supplies and in his shock over the whole thing being a scam, was killed by his partner to not risk their practice in scandal. |

John Malkovich's character in Red (2010). He lives in an underground bunker with an entrance hidden by an old car; the house on his property is a decoy (and probably rigged to explode should anyone actually enter it). He also believes that he was part of a government mind-control experiment. He's Properly Paranoid: the government really is out to get him, he was being given daily doses of LSD for years, and everyone he suspects of being an assassin actually is one. | |

Mr. Prepper is a game about turning your basement into a fully-fledged self-sustaining bomb shelter; your country is turning into a plague-ridden Police State obsessed with "Blessing the President", and now it's illegal to leave, so building a sprawling underground base is the least irrational thing you can do. Unfortunately, it's not rational to go hunting wolves with a crowbar, or talk to plant-obsessed old ladies in the woods, or build a functioning ICBM. | |

The Twilight Zone (1985): In "Shelter Skelter", Harry Dobbs is convinced that a nuclear war is imminent. As his home in Dunston, Kansas is only a few miles away from Wakefield Air Force Base, a likely prime target, he has a fallout shelter built in his basement. It has a lead-lined door, four foot thick concrete walls, and outside temperature and radiation gauges. Harry has kept it a secret from his neighbors and warns his wife Sally not to reveal its existence to her sister Wendy. However, he later tells his friend and employee Nick Gatlin about it as he considers him to be practically part of the family. When the base is destroyed by a nuclear blast, the two of them take refuge in the shelter and wait to see whether the radiation will die down so that they can go outside again. In the final scene, it is revealed that the base was not destroyed by an enemy bomb during World War III but by an American cruise missile which accidentally detonated aboard a B-1 bomber. Dunston was destroyed but the horror at the loss of life pulled the world back from the brink of nuclear war. A radiation-proof dome, which has come to be known as the Peace Dome, was constructed to contain the fallout. | |

In the 2018 Mars Attacks! comics by IDW, the two protagonists briefly come across one of these carrying a shotgun and hiding from the martians. However, his paranoia turns into Suddenly Shouting, alerting the attackers to both of their positions and getting him killed. | |

In Burn Me Deadly, the protagonist meets a family who live away from civilisation due to the firm belief that, one day soon, the allegedly iron-fisted King Archibald is going to come and take everything they own. In reality, Archibald is rather ineffectual, quite a long way away, and wouldn't really care one way or another about the survivalists. It turns out that the husband is actually a hypocrite about it, visiting the market in town from time to time without telling his wife. It causes... marital difficulties. | |

When players of Dwarf Fortress succession fortress Headshoots decided to turn the fort's greatest champions into ravening undead to kill the fort, a dwarf called Gex quietly packed a backpack with rations and took off to a part of the fortress that didn't technically appear on the map, where the undead champions couldn't find him. | |

Fallout 3 is more optimistic and has more than its fair share of caring, sharing types — encouraged by morality cheerleader Three Dog — but most of the communities you meet are isolationist and will only look out for themselves, and it is also implied that most individual Wastelanders are that way too.

If you've ever heard Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, there's also the young infantryman who decides that the best thing to do is hide out in a cellar and carve out a brand new underground city. His glorious project is, by the time the protagonist reaches him, a 10 ft deep hole in the cellar wall, and yet he's making plans for playing cricket underground, defeating the invaders, and starting again. With "just a handful of men". | |

Vampire: The Masquerade has this as a playable character template in their Gangrel Clanbook. The background says the player is someone convinced of the inevitable collapse of society who has stockpiled massive amounts of food and weapons in a shelter in the woods. One of the kindred happens upon him and, impressed with his survival skills, offers the Embrace, which the human readily accepts. After all, he now has the ultimate survival tool; immortality. | |

Generally, most characters in the Fallout games are survivalists to some degree, due to having spent generations eking out a living in an irradiated, monster-infested wasteland in constant competition with raiders, each other and the power-hungry remnants of the U.S. government. On the whole, being prepared for the nuclear blasts, mutant invasions, monster attacks, and government supersoldiers enforcing their way is nothing more than common sense in the world of Fallout. Because, you know, all things Crazy-Prepared people prepare for already happened there and most of them are order of the day. Fallout 3 is more optimistic and has more than its fair share of caring, sharing types — encouraged by morality cheerleader Three Dog — but most of the communities you meet are isolationist and will only look out for themselves, and it is also implied that most individual Wastelanders are that way too. The Outcasts even left the Brotherhood of Steel for not being Crazy Survivalist enough. Subverted by a former Marine in the Honest Hearts DLC for Fallout: New Vegas who, despite surviving unbelievable wasteland conditions and human atrocities, becomes a benevolent Stealth Mentor to a group of kids, who eventually become the Sorrows. Read his exploits here. Even for the Fallout series, Barney Rook of Fallout 4 stands out. It's not entirely clear whether he really regards Reba (his rifle) as alive (and practically his girlfriend) or not, but he certainly talks like he does. |

All over the place in Far Cry 5. The antagonists are members of a creepy cult of Right Wing Militia Fanatics who believe the nuclear Armageddon is coming; to that end, they've built massive bunkers all over Montana and are abducting locals to "save" them. There's also Dutch Roosevelt, who's on the good guys' side. However, he was paranoid and almost obsessive even before the cult came along, and some letters around his home indicate that his behavior has isolated him from his family.note They turn out to be right about the apocalypse, but their obsession with being the only heroes ruined everything. | |

They all die within the following three minutes. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs features Buck, a weasel stuck in a Lost World full of dinosaurs. He has an Ahab-like obsession with a giant dinosaur who took his eye... and clearly took his wits along with it. |

Subverted in World War Z, where these guys are officially referred to as LaMoEs — Last Man on Earth — and came in two varieties: the ones that are still sane, and — after the initial confusion — welcome the army are referred to as Robinson Crusoes. The second type, which the narrator notes is the type that the rank and file actually do refer to as LaMOEs, are the ones who either went a little too mad or just got too used to their newfound lifestyle and didn't want to reintegrate into society. The tie-in in-universe guidebook The Zombie Survival Guide actually encourages you to become a Crazy Survivalist in case of a Zombie Apocalypse, provided you become one of the cooperative "Robinson Crusoe" variety. | |

The book The Postman states that America as a nation scraped through World War III and even appeared to be on the road to recovery... only to be permanently torn down by attacks by anarchic survivalist militias. Though it's admitted that the Holnists are more like Social Darwinists who want to be feudal lords rather than "true" survivalists, but the term has been permanently associated with them by the survivors. | |

Planescape: Torment has the aptly named Paranoid Incarnation, a past version of you who was both quite insane and absolutely, screamingly terrified of enemies lurking in every corner trying to "steal his body"; he had a habit of strangling people when they gave him news he didn't like and using his own detached arm in combat (since he always had it on hand, so to speak). Nonetheless, despite or perhaps because of his crazy, he left many clues for himself that prove helpful to you - provided you survive whatever spectacularly lethal defences he set up around them. And then successfully decipher his ramblings. Which may be written in a dead, obscure, complicated language known only to him and the guy who taught it to him, whom he strangled. He - well, it was an apt name. However, he is ultimately revealed to be a tragic character, much like you; waking into a strange world that showed him nothing but hatred and fear for reasons he couldn't remember. He's relieved to the point of tears when you finally convince him he doesn't have to be afraid, and willingly joins his mind with yours to find some peace. | |

Lonewolf37 from House Flipper is definitely one of these. While the other two potential buyers from the Apocalypse Flipper DLC are fairly normal as preppers go, this guy is an absolute nutjob. For one thing, he obscures his face with a gas mask for all of his communication with you, and refuses to go by anything other than his screen name. He also gets mad if you put any furniture in his bunker, saying it "won't help [him] survive", and that includes giving him a toilet. All he wants is lots of water jugs, lots of canned food (because he refuses to cook for himself), and guns, guns, guns, guns, GUNS! | |

Huey was like this in The Boondocks. To give one example, in one series of strips, he was certain a bird flu epidemic would cause a plague that would destroy America, and stockpiled 18 months worth of food to prepare, saying he wouldn't even share with his brother when it happened. (Given that the bird flu had no cases outside of Asia, you can only find this rather absurd now along with a lot of his paranoia in the strip.) | |

The Life Foundation was an organization that appeared mostly in Spider-Man comics who had a demented view of this. They were certain that society would eventually collapse and were survivalists but had no intention of actually being uncomfortable when it happened. Certain there were other rich and selfish people with this view, they built large, secret enclaves designed with luxury in mind (basically, town-size shelters with resort themes). The most sinister thing about this is their various ideas for keeping others out, including robbing militia for weapons (and then kidnapping the hitman Chance and trying to get the secret of his weapons out of him) and hiring mercenaries to undergo surgery to make them super-strong (not telling them it would turn them into Brainwashed slaves). By far their worst mistake was trying to use the Tri-Sentinel. (Not only a Sentinel but three Sentinels merged together by Loki's magic in order to destroy New York during the Acts of Vengeance. Suffice to say, it was a bad plan.) | |

Burt Gummer from the Tremors movies and TV series is a somewhat rare friendly, even heroic version of this. He actually helps out the rest of the town when they need it, since he's the only one with enough guns to fight the graboids. ("Well, I guess we don't get to make fun of Burt's lifestyle anymore.") Through the second and third movies, he adds ever more powerful weapons to his arsenal (including an anti-tank rifle and an anti-aircraft cannon). By Tremors 3: Back to Perfection he stops being this and becomes more Properly Paranoid, seeing as he's already lived through two monster invasions. By the time we get to Tremors: The Series he's pretty much become a professional monster hunter. | |

The original Highlander film featured one of these as an ex-military, gun-toting vigilante who witnessed one of the Kurgan's modern-day duels. He shoots the Kurgan like Swiss cheese. Having killed the apparent murderer, the survivalist goes to look and gets skewered, lifted off the ground on the Kurgan's sword. He (barely) survives and probably became a Watcher if series mythology figures in. | |

There's an enemy called the zombie-huntin' feller, who looks and speaks like a redneck, stored up dehydrated meals, weapons, and hard-copy pornography before the apocalypse, and is out to "bag me some zombies, just like I been waitin' for these nigh-on ten years or so".

Dead Rising: Frank encounters a crazed redneck survivalist holed up in a gun store who shoots at him when he gets too close (it takes place in a cutscene, so the player doesn't really have a choice). He is actually surprised when you want guns enough to shoot him dead. The actual effect is that the guy is crazy enough to not trust anyone with his guns, and kills anyone that approaches. When you kill him, he questions if you're crazy enough for guns to kill people. Bastard. The Halls, a.k.a. the family of snipers, have this going on as well. W* The first F.E.A.R. game had Norton Mapes, a fat guy who was always locking himself in (and you out) to save himself from the bad guys at your expense. He gets killed at the end although in the un-canon expansion Extraction Point he is shown to have survived it and returns to do the same Crazy Survivalist act all over again. Though, in truth, he was being less like a Crazy Survivalist, and more like a Fat Bastard and Dirty Coward. And intentionally trying to murder you.ell, not Thomas, but otherwise... |

Subverted in the 1632 short story "Curio & Relic". Paul Santee has a lot of the common Crazy Survivalist traits. He lives on his own on the outskirts of town, he's a Vietnam veteran, and he has a lot of guns. Fortunately for Eddie Cantrell, Santee's actually not crazy at all, he's just not a people person. As for the guns, he's a registered collector and seller of antique firearms, so all the guns he has are legal. Once the situation is explained to him, he's more than happy to donate his Survivalist Stash to the new army, and even gets the job of "Chief Weapons Scrounger". | |

Brainbent: The Posthumous Character Grandpa Harley spent his latter years in a homemade bunker, convinced that nuclear war had annihilated all civilization outside his small corner of woodland. Unfortunately, he had the young girl Jade in his care. After his death, Jade eventually ventured out, was surprised to find that the outside world was quite intact, and ended up in long-term psychiatric care to help acclimate her to a society that's larger than two people. | |

Sousuke from Full Metal Panic!, all the way. Along with how he manages to be Crazy-Prepared despite not having any visible baggage to carry all his weapons and equipment in. | |

The four protagonists of Left 4 Dead all have a touch of this. Not to mention the church guy. Better safe than sorry! The sequel gives us minor character Whitaker, a gun store owner who barricaded himself in a shed on the roof with more food and ammo than appears in the rest of the game combined. He forgot to store drinks, though, resulting in a Fetch Quest for you. |

Barkwire features regular contributor RandyF, who posts all his reviews as pseudo-military reports and has expressed suspicion of stray dogs as possible agents of the New World Order. | |

Wendy's whole family in Gravity Falls is revealed to be this, which proves useful when facing The End of the World as We Know It. | |
