This prepper pupil becomes conscious of ancient preppers in his quest for preparedness. It is apparent that some people today are still totally in the dark about prepping. Some think preppers are something new. Some also believe the origins are in the latter half of the previous century (sometime in the 1960’s) but if you look back further in time you will find that humans have been preppers prior to even attaining the scientific classification as the species homo sapiens.
In essence, one could think prepping is surviving and homo sapiens have certainly survived. Homo sapiens faced various dangers when they started out about 200,000 years ago. They have gone through natural disasters and battled the forces of nature but perhaps through prepping we are now here as their legacy.
Imagine if you will, our ancestors living in the harsh environment of the paleolithic period, they must have been reactionary beings who ate when they were hungry, sought natural shelter from the heat or cold and survived on instinct alone but that was eventually replaced with a proactive approach as they learned to stockpile food, build shelters and start to be masters of the environment they lived in.
We homo sapiens live by trial and error and often our thick skulls have made our evolution into enlightened beings a bit of a problem. 200.000 years on and we are finally here in the 21st century, the 3rd millenium of human existence may just be the century we evolve to the next level of humanity. The prepared will survive on and bring about the change. As a prepper pupil, I hope to learn even from ancient preppers, Certainly, their knowledge reaches us here in this century with the valuable information they have left us, a thoughtful gift to their children that this prepper pupil will incorporate in his preps.
