History CrazyPrepared / WebOriginal

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'':

* An impromptu musical number in ''WebVideo/{{Awkward}}'' has Alex garbed in a dress. Apparently it actually belongs to his actor. Why? Well, in case he should ever require a dress. (The fact that Franchise/{{Batman}} is his trademark favourite series is actually not much of a surprise.)

* From WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID we have [[KnifeNut Evan]]. Anyone who seriously keeps an ''emergency machete'' in a friend's car (without them knowing about it!) ought to qualify for this trope.

* In the Wiki/SCPFoundation universe, the Global Occult Coalition's standard course of action when dealing with [[RealityWarper reality benders]] is to have one person distract the individual while a sniper takes a shot from miles away with a .50 caliber sniper rifle. If that doesn't work, then the second sniper takes a shot, and so on until the target is eliminated.

* Kathleen Martin in ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' v3 has spent years doing everything possible to prepare herself for the game just in case she's thrown in it, leading her to have many advantages in the game including survival techniques, knowledge of hand to hand combat, and skill in firearms. Some say the handler takes it too far and makes her rather overpowered, as her only ''disadvantages'' are that she's paranoid and nobody likes her. Though, there are signs indicating that she is a ''parody'' of this character type, especially since her handler has already created one such parody ([[DeadStarWalking Josh Goodman]]).

* All the family and (male) friends of the title character in ''Literature/TheSagaOfTuck''. Up to and including weapons lockers, emergency (rotated) food stores and bicycles modified to carry the wounded when cars are useless.
* By definition, the "You might be a Survivalist if..." list has many handy suggestions.

* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'':
** Phase (Ayla Goodkind), to the point where a RunningGag is pointing it out. When the Team Tactics instructors are checking the team in for the holographic simulation system, Phase has so many weapons and gadgets and devises in his utility belt that a Whateley Security officer calls him on it. Among the items in Phase's utility belt are the equivalent of 'mad money' for the uber-rich: a handful of gems, rare stamps, and gold coins, in case he needed fast cash when he couldn't use his usual resources. Aside from his holdouts, Phase also has plans for how to fight every major threat on campus, and most of the minor ones as well, including all of his teammates. Several plans for each, with contingencies for different combinations of weapons and teammates. This includes a plan for beating Lancer with no weapons and only [[GadgeteerGenius Bugs]] as backup. Unfortunately, his favored plan for defeating [[PhysicalGod Tennyo]] backfired spectacularly: if it hadn't been in a holo-simulation, the entire Eastern seaboard of the U.S. would have been wiped out in the ensuing anti-matter explosion.
** Mr. X, of the Brooklyn Sentinels, as {{discussed}} in [[http://whateleyacademy.net/index.php/stories/357-saks-and-violence Saks and Violence]]:
--> The guy working the ‘Question’ look with the blank face mask and the leather trench coat is Mr. X. And Mr. X may have some sort of invulnerability angle, but give him his due, he does a good job of working the ‘crazy prepared’ and ‘badass trench coat’ tropes.”
* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick made a video about "Playing God" so everybody could prepare for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.
* WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall: While we're on the topic of Channel Awesome, Linkara, due to the bizarre life he leads, always seems to have multiple contingency plans for most, if not all, of the threats he encounters, which always seem to buy him enough time to review another crappy comic. Many of these plans seem to rely on rather intricate [[BatmanGambit Batman Gambits]].

* ''AudioPlay/WereAlive'' has Burt who owns a gun store with a [[SurvivalistStash vault]] containing massive amounts of handguns, rifles, ammo and even ''claymore mines.'' He apparently "thought that whole [[Main/MillenniumBug Y2K thing was some kind of take-over."]]
** There's also CJ who has a whole apartment building stocked with dozens of rifles stolen from the local Army Reserve base along with other kinds of weapons, ammo, how-to books, and various plans she's come up with. On top off all that she maintains an extensive network of safe-houses and gardens throughout Usefulnotes/LosAngeles for her to live on. It's worth noting that while she did have people with her at the start of [[ZombieApocalypse the outbreak]], she has been maintaining all of this ''by herself'' for several months.

If that doesn't work, then the second sniper takes a shot, and so on until the target is eliminated.

* ''Blog/OccupyRichieRich'' portrays [[ComicBook/RichieRich Richie]] himself as this. For instance, [[http://occupyrichierich.tumblr.com/post/39414410487/he-carries-that-sink-everywhere-in-case-someone one cover]] has a KitchenSinkIncluded gag. The caption below has this to offer:
--> "he carries that sink everywhere in case someone says 'everything but the kitchen sink'"

* One J.R. Mooneyham has a rather [[http://jmooneyham.com/ eclectic web site]], containing things ranging from supposedly autobiographical stories of his supercar racing days, through survivalist essays and advice for living cheap, all the way to a detailed speculative timeline of world history/prehistory/future history and a ScienceFiction novel starring the author's alter ego. There are certainly examples of CrazyPrepared, both in the fiction and the non-fiction. For instance, see the [[http://www.jrmooneyham.com/orgstt.html#sectionap insanely detailed description]] of the extensive security measures of a fictional research lab.
* Legendary Usenet poster "Gharlane of Eddore" (not to be confused with [[Literature/{{Lensman}} the other Gharlane]]) once wrote a post detailing his design for "Standard Generic Monster Load", bullets intended to let you be prepared for almost any conceivable supernatural emergency:
-->'''Gharlane:''' Silver bullet; hex-scored jacketed hollow-point filled with a gel made of Holy Water, wolfsbane, garlic, fugutoxin and curare, laced with dimethyl sulfoxide to provide tractor-solvent Spreading Factor. Traditionalists can also cut crosses in the bases of the bullets, and have them blessed by a priest. .44 magnum 240-grain load over the standard Elmer Keith hunting load, 24 grains of IMR 2400. (The manual says 21.8 grains is maximum, so don't use the 24-grain load if you have a cheap revolver.) These work reliably on Vampires, Werewolves, the generic Undead, and Evil Human Minions like Renfield, with sublime indifference.

* At one point during ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', the party visits Percy's old hometown. Percy takes Vax and Scanlan to see if they can find help in an old temple, where they are then [[spoiler:ambushed by a banshee]]. Because of the nature of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', that detour was entirely unscripted, so when the DM pulls out a map of the temple, we get this exchange:
--> '''Taliesin/Percy:''' You were so prepared for me to go to the temple that you actually ''built'' it?\\
'''Matt/DM:''' I had no idea where you guys were gonna go, so I built the whole city.
** In the second campaign Taliesin again expresses surprise at Matt being prepared with a map, since there was no way he expected them to plan an ambush at a specific location in a wide open area. Matt says that he always has maps of various locales and biomes prepared in the event of a fight. The same goes for miniatures, which he brings to the sessions even if the chance of such a creature is low, but not impossible. In one episode Travis has Fjord cast ''Summon Greater Demon'' and Matt produces a miniature of the demon while openly admitting that he wasn't even sure if Travis had chosen that spell when the party levelled up.
* Creator/TessMasazza in the Italian webseries ''Insopportabilmente Donna''. Among other examples, the stock of "most essential supplies" she brings with her when she goes camping with her friends includes a rope, a flashlight, batteries for the flashlight, a candle should the batteries not work, a can of pepper spray, a sound repellent device for wolves, an amulet for protection against ghosts, a book to read should she become bored (which she knows she will), an incredible amount of medicines (including a kit to make orthopedic casts)…
* ''WebVideo/AnalystBroniesReact'':
** Voice of Reason brought his "anti slasher villain spray" for the ''Legend of Everfree'' review.
** For the same video, Stupid Private 913 brought his shotgun, just in case any monstrosities from Equestria showed up.
* ''Literature/TheTimTebowCFLChronicles:'' Natrone Means is possibly the only player in the Canadian Football League who did real prep work for bound-for-street play (a scenario where [[{{Calvinball}} the football game leaves the stadium, and there are no boundaries or end zones]]). Games only go bound-for-street once every 25 years or so, and those games usually only go a few dozen yards--but Nate still has "binders upon binders full of maps, star charts, and field guides identifying safe-to-eat berries and roots," on the off-chance that the Toronto Argonauts could go on an unprecedented cross-country drive. This actually does happen, and Nate's crazy prep work proves crucial to the Argonauts' offensive.
* ''Blog/HowToHero'''s stated purpose is to guide superheroes through any situation they might find themselves in and indeed they have entries on everything from [[https://howtohero.tumblr.com/post/159703646338/codenames picking a codename]] to [[https://howtohero.tumblr.com/post/161045522320/lame-superpowers coping with having lame superpowers]].
** Their entry on [[https://howtohero.tumblr.com/post/175494892462/drills-training drills]] (not to be confused with their [[https://howtohero.tumblr.com/post/175562749208/drills-tool entry on drills]]) takes this to the next level, advising readers to train for all kinds of scenarios including, hiring a psychic to tell you the next ten people you're going to fight, and then preparing to fight their relatives too, and stopping an world-ending event without missing your favorite show.
