I live in a very rural area.
A number of people have been here their whole lives.
One neighbor can recall getting indoor plumbing as a child.
So, there are lots of old skills, people who were preppers before prepper was in mainstream lexicon. They have gardens, they can, livestock of various sizes. A lot of it is right out in the open.
Just about everyone hunts, so it is a given everyone has a deer rifle, a shotgun, and a .22LR rifle.
Dont really talk about prepping, just what we are doing, be it expand the garden, more herbs, more chickens for eggs etc.
