That is pretty silly.
I doubt that the rioting in Philadelphia right now is creating the experts that will be explaining how to purify water, handle personal sanitation, solar equipment, generators, storing fuel, canning and shelf life of foods, and so on for us next month.
Most of prepping is the timeless and common knowledge that one needs food, water, and shelter, and such, so most prepping knowledge is of a technical type, what foods store best, how do you grind and use the wheat berries, how do you purify the water, and store it, how do you preserve gasoline from going bad, how do you recharge batteries with no electricity.
It has spread to Philadelphia already?
Not silly at all. You have never been through an actual disaster. If you had, you would appreciate what I’m saying.
