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.

we garden, hunt and keep a pantry of canned goods because the food is better. self-sufficiency is just a nice perk.
