That's what I hope to do one day. Just have my doubts things will hold out that long.

I disagree EB. I am sure we are all familiar with MAG. but that is not what his question was.
Essentially, your MAG group arrived early at the party... nothing is happening... no one is there... it doesn't look like it will be inhabited, ever! What, besides 'losers' is that group called?
Around here, we call them 'Amish'! They are the only ones truly prepped for TEOTWAWKI... assuming, of course, that they don't need guns!
When I grow up... I wanna be an Amish... but...locked and loaded for Armageddon!!!
oh, wait... I almost am!
Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!

If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
Going Galt?
Amish have guns ST. They just claim to be pacifists, though I've read plenty of police reports about them getting picked up for fist fights.

I did mention person or group.
Perhaps I was unclear... The person or group I was talking of has basically bugged out BEFORE a SHTF event, 'cause they are wore out with the tension of being ever-ready all the time, and have jumped the gun, and went ahead with their BO and plans before TSHTF.
I should expand my query...not only "is there a tech term for such folks?"... but "what is the opinion of the assembled here of such folk, that do such a thing?"
I've my own guesses as to how some in here would or will react to such action, and will keep those guesses fairly close to the vest, thanks to the local 5th columnists (two of which have already spoke) (and again, I'm not happy, Staff, to bring it to light, but with a situation of this size, it's pretty much a given it's compromised).
And before those worthies jump in, I'm NOT referring to myself. I couldn't bail if I had to, at this point in time. A little more, and maybe... but there is so much less and less with every day.

I personally would love to do it if I could afford to. After or final upcoming move and the military has done with me, I plan on finding 80 acres to start building on exactly how I want.
If they are completely self sustaining or at least trying to I would call them homesteaders.
I basically did that 10 years ago. I bought my place and started my little farm, but it is just me the wife and my son.

I guess technically, that's where I am too!

I currently attempt to homestead, to the level I can. I plan to increase to some degree every year it's possible. I just currently don't have the prime location I want.
