People think that me learning ancient skills and urban foraging is some kind of prepper behaviour.
I don't think it is. Preppers believe their readiness will allow them to survive disasters and societal collapse.
There's *no way* my skills will let me do that. At best I'll eat some bitter weeds and have a sore arm as I try and fail to start a friction fire.
It's *community* that will help us survive when things go wrong. Sharing skills, knowledge, tools, and resources with our neighbours.
