I was born in USSR and Prepping was a way of life there.
Summer time grandmothers were canning cucumbers, apples, tomatoes, cabbage, beets.
Fathers were buying like 100 lbs potato sacks (I still have no idea how potatoes lasted).
Jams, plenty of home-made jams - white cherry (tastes incredible), sour cherries, strawberries, and other berries.
Armenians had plenty of dried meats.
Each apartment, outside of a regular gas stove, had a primus, a portable pump activated burner working on kerosene.
When I came to the United States we stopped all that. I kind of miss it ...
Thanks,
Ed
