I don't think many saw us ever needing to roll back to survival skills just to eat. We have lived the good life for decades.

People have lost that knowledge. And it sucks. So many are now becoming aware of the garbage and chemicals in our food, much less the cost. And we are trying to re-learn those skills. So don't judge too harsh on those who are at least trying to get back to the way it should be. At least they are trying. They need encouragement and help so they can learn and pass it down to future generations.

Not judging per say, google and you tube is more useful than a college education to me. It just is hard to fathom the amount of people that has to have social media to make it. I was fortunate, I had men and women both in my family that had common sense and work ethic. It passed onto me I think. I always had respect for older farmers that made it before cell phones became popular. Same for carpenters and other trades.
