Sadly, the honest answer to that question is pretty much every generation before 50 years ago. What was once a way of life slowly turned into something to mock as people stopped thinking about being prepared for hard times and instead got lost in an imaginary world of tech bullshit, WOKE culture, and the delusional thinking that the government is going to be there to hold your hand when things go bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disasters and crises can wake people up quickly; unfortunately, the slap in the face often comes at a great expense to those who continuously ignore the realities of our world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We live in a world where we have more access to information than at any other time in recorded history, yet people are less prepared than ever. Skills that were once common knowledge have been lost, and without YouTube or the internet, most of America can\u2019t even figure out how to plunge a toilet without watching a video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last couple of decades, the world has seen an unprecedented spike in technology and access to learning. But, unfortunately, we\u2019ve also seen a growing number of people who have used this technology to tune out and lose their ability to be self-reliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skills that were once part of our culture, ones that helped us survive, have been largely forgotten; replaced by a generation of dependent people that can\u2019t even balance a checkbook, cook a meal, or change a flat tire. Although we have more access to information than ever, the skills of our forefathers have been replaced by useless skills like texting, swiping right, and seeing how many likes we can get on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The skills that past generations have used to build new worlds, care for their families, and make a living, have been replaced with useless knowledge, self-gratification, and a dependency on the government for just about everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m all for using technology to better yourself \u2013 without it, this site wouldn\u2019t exist \u2013 but people need to get back to the basics and learn the skills they need to survive. If not, we are in real danger of losing our ability to survive and thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forgotten Skills that everyone should know!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cooking Skills: The ability to cook a meal from scratch.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Cooking<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Learning how to cook from scratch, with basic ingredients that don\u2019t get poured out of a can, is one of the most important self-reliant skills you can have. If you\u2019re serious about preparedness, especially if you\u2019re in the process of getting started with emergency food storage, learning how to cook from scratch is something you cannot afford to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
