This time of year, after harvest? I've got enough to make it to spring. My grandmother would have understood, as she did it herself, and that's where I learned to go into fall with a full larder.

That's not really prepping. That's just living life as it was lived for thousands of years before it changed after WWII.

I agree with you. I live in a townhome without garden.
Grandmother grew up on farm.

Amen to that. My granny and mother in law continued living this way long after WWII. Mother in law had 2 huge gardens every year till she turned 85, then she cut down to one. She finally had to quit in 2010 a couple of years before she died. She still had plenty of canned stuff and frozen stuff though from previous years

so true....what used to be normal for most families...a garden, canning, sewing patches on clothes, hand me downs, saving things like old shoe laces,and paper bags, etc ...is now called prepping....

I like the book written by someone about "simple living".....you try to use less, use every bit of what you have, never waste, and make do with what you have.....
