    Bushcrafting content has a fine line when it pushes over into doomsday prepper. I can get the ideas of having a bit of food/water stocked up for a normal emergency. But if you are preparing industrial quantities of things to survive for years in a bunker you should seek help.

      “prepper” vs “Prepper” with a capital “P”.

      The first learns and practices actual useful skills – gardening, food preservation, repairing their own things, etc. The later are dorks buying a ton of unnecessary shit shilled by right-wing influencers cosplaying as “entirely self-sufficient”.

        Well if you just get a commercial freeze dryer, generator and alcohol fuel distillation setup you can be completely self sufficient!

          Freeze drying on a large scale takes a LOT of time. You need to be ready to treat food prep like a full time job for it to make serious financial sense.

            I would think other preservation methods are easier to go with really. Salt, dehydrate, smoke, pickle, fermemt.
