My grandmother had her own vegetable garden, and kept a full pantry, rotating out canned, preserved and dried food properly, had candles, water collection, all sorts of stuff.
What they call prepping nowadays was once simply common sense.
I feel this will become more mainstream in decades to come.
The mallninja knives and other such fluff are bizarre though.
That's because these people do not want to actually live this way. They are cosplayers. They want to buy $50 worth of freeze dried food and go to McDonald's.
Your grandmother learned to live like that because she had no choice. That's what growing up in the Depression will do to you. No grandma would ever have freeze dried ice cream. Better learn how to milk a cow! Free milk, cream, and butter every day. But it's not easy.
I plan on protecting my local library to preserve all knowledge that can help us stay alive and grow a healthy community.
Yeah my goal will be to wipe out all knowledge so we can maybe do something different... we are already at odds friend
There's a lot of knowledge about raising farm animals, agriculture, fishing, foraging and how to process those things not only into foods but medicine as well. That stuff is vital.

It will become more mainstream as people in the west become poorer. Most rich people don't know how to preserve food because they can just buy it made for them.
we garden, hunt and keep a pantry of canned goods because the food is better. self-sufficiency is just a nice perk.
