Besides bartering hobby skills transformed wastes into craft goods that could be sold or exchanged for food. Clothing scraps could be sewn into quilting or bags or cushions, tin cans into mugs etc

Call it prepping but we grew up with very little like most around us but we never went hungry because if you prepare and pressure cook everything then all you need is jars and lids and when you can food the right way none of it has a expiration date so if you’re crops failed 1 2 or even 3 years we had plenty including meat milk fruit vegetables butter flour and sugar cane syrup and lard Done right your can goods will last 10 to 18 years We have and do daily eat vegetables that were canned as long as in 2012 and meat that was canned far back as 2014 It only go bad if not canned properly or the seal breaks or the lid rust out We have fresh canned milk from 2016 it has a little less flavor almost water down taste but it still good and we pressure canned on camp fire, wood heater, wood stove The thing is we called it living now it’s called prepping Kind of funny dirt floor poor folks saved the country and started a trend So thank poor folks and farmers Don’t prep live a simple rewarding life and re use not through away nothing
Some folks in community did not do a big crop but they had yard birds pigs or cows which were traded for vegetables and what not or hunters It was community and neighbors and we were close knit We were all in it together and relied on each other man the world was great then but we still do this with our kin and neighbors God bless you may God have mercy on us and a good laugh at us
