DoomCast: Homesteading 2.0
About this episode
The episode discusses the emerging trend of Homesteading 2.0 among younger preppers, contrasting it with traditional prepper ideals.
A developing trend, particularly among younger preppers goes by the name Homesteading 2.0. This hybrid of self-sufficiency and yet continued engagement with "the system" runs counter to the "old prepper" idealized vision of the totally off-grid, remote, self-sufficient homestead. An ideal that very few actually attained. So, why was it held up as the ideal? Some historical light helps explain why. Mic, Brian, and Jeff discuss this new prepper model and the old.
