Hello again!
Despite the title, I do know now what "prepping" means. But until two years ago, I did not know this expression. But nevertheless I have been doing it for my enitre life. How is that possible you ask?
Well, because every house in Switzerland is required to have at least one underground, concrete bunker which can withstand a nuclear blast. Government advises us to keep 30 days worth of supplies at home. Many people (at least the ones I know) follow that advise. I learned how to make fire in primary school and the kindergarden, like it is common in Switzerland. I had to do a 80 km march during mid-school when I was 12 years old. Our teachers would teach us on how to survive in the cold. Etc...
Then, two years ago, I watched a US series called "doomsday preppers" and I thought, "Hahaha, those paranoid people!" And then "Waaait a second, my entire country is doing that, I live in prepper nation and have been prepping since day one, without even noticing!!"
My question for you: How is that in the US? Do your children as well have to learn such skills in primary school? Like carving, making fire, walking long distances?
I am eager to know...
