    The best prep is knowledge and understanding because that isn’t so easy to take away.

    Storing purified water is nice. Knowing how to purify water is better.

    Having fish vs. Knowing how to get fish.

    Next step? Thriving>surviving. Truly understand that thriving takes a village. People skills matter. If every other human is the enemy then you are clearly outnumbered.

      This was one reason I chose a career path in fibre arts. I like knowing how to thread a loom and weave a basket. But it also comes with the question of who’s going to spin all the thread? That shit is booooring and you need a metric fuck ton of it.

      this is pretty much it summed up. Though i tend to leave out the community part because that’s the one thing these people seem to understand. Makes my point a little more apparent.

      Also i just have an inherent distrust towards other people.
