RE: I Was Indoctrinated As A PREPPER From Age 5
It usually is so, that some innocent things and knowledge we pick up and learn in our youth stay deep with us, and we can remember them without hesitation. I think it's never too much knowledge, especially about basic skills like surviving.
We really don't know how the world will turn and what will happen to us. And thinking about that and the fact, that many now don't know how to wash dishes or clothes by hand, how to live without tv or internet. Or even more disturbing is the fact, that many don't even walk to the shop around the corner - why, if they have a car... In the world with so many things and appliances which can help many, people are getting more and more spoiled and unfortunately many think a lot less than way back.
So I must say, that is nice to read, that you are prepared and you know how to take care of yourself and your family.
Thanks. I think you are right and I fear the younger generations just aren't getting a good grounding in real life skills. They have had it pretty easy and are probably a bit soft. I know I sound like a typical grumpy old man bitching about the youth of today, but a lot of the younger generation even say it about themselves!
