    “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.
