>>I really don't get how people are unwilling to learn basic survival skills.<<

Various reasons include lack of opportunity, lack of resources, no time to spare for it, and denigration of the skills by people around them.
Well, as for me- I was entranced by the "Little House" books in my impressionable years, and so that kind of basic skills have always seemed oh-so-interesting to me. :)

I do get how people may not have the time and space (broadly speaking) to do such themselves; I really don't get how they are uninterested in doing such. But- that's me.

The thing I find sad is that if one is NOT interested in doing such- one is totally at the mercy of whatever the corporations want to do to one... and i really HATE that; it's so disempowering, and being able to make sauerkraut (for example) is really empowering- and easy!

I think the denigration of skills is the aspect I find most tragic.
