A little of both I guess you could say. But id have to lean More on survival then prep. Hell I once ran away and lived in the woods for nearly a week when I 13. Needless to say my parents weren't to happy nor the cops that found me by helicopter damn bastards with there infrared hahaha.
That reminds me of My Side of the Mountain. I read that book when I was young and wanted to go live in a big tree. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0142401110/?tag=survivalmonke-20
Welcome to the tree @Monkey311 .. There's a lot of good folks here, interesting, informative conversations, and even more information here with more coming in all the time.. I had read that same book when I was young as well @Motomom34 .. Is a good book for youngster's..
Welcome yes the rat race sucks, but its part of the society that has been created. You just have to deal with it or change it. Hope it wourks out for you.
