Pareto Prepper is focused on minimalist approaches to self-reliance during the global cardiac arrest. Pareto preppers believe that having the tools and knowledge fare exceeds the benefits of amassing great stockpiles of ammunition and food.

Vilfredo Federico Damaso Pareto was an Italian intellectual who discovered the underlying "Pareto Distribution" that can be observed in economics, sociology and other fields. 80% of the land is owned by 20% of the people. 80% of income is generated by the top 20% of earners. This is also known as the Pareto Principle.

This principle can also be applied to the emerging field of "prepping." You will come to see that this principle can affect every decision you make with regards to prepping.
