We Need Our Older People


I think an older person wrote these words, and posted it on https://www.askaprepper.com/


“You might be surprised to find that "older people" have more survivalist skills than you would imagine. For those of us who grew up listening to radio, using party line telephones, walking or riding a bike to school. Playing mumbley peg in the school yard with our pocket knives during recess in grade school, spending the entire day except for meal times outside in the woods or playing war, shooting bows and arrows and bb guns from six years old or 8 years old, with .22s at 10 or 12 and shotguns soon after, and revolvers and rifles at 15 or 16, growing victory gardens, minding the stove for hot water and a myriad of other chores and activities that people my kids age have no comprehension of. Older folks have knowledge you haven't dreamed of. Just read the posts of some of the older followers of this site. We may not have the energy or the strength of younger readers, but cunning and old age beat strength and youth hands down.”
