It's a good question that almost no one can answer, my personal idea of an in between somewhat plausible idea would be people who mostly grow food on their own land, keep some chickens if you'd like, and then learn foraging skills to supplement that food, function as a pretty interesting and useful hobby and then rarely if ever truly help you survive if you end up in a survival situation. There will probably always be grocery stores and fast food near where you live if you're in a modern city or town, but it'd be nice if there were less of them and if less people needed them to prepare their meals for them every few hours of their life. If people weren't giving billions of dollars to big agriculture they wouldn't have the money to continue with lobbying in politics, the news, and generally every aspect of life. Teach even 50 million Americans some basic backyard skills, forget even needing to identify mushrooms on trails or know which tree stumps you can find water in, just get a lot of people a chicken coop and some carrots and the mentality of having your own knowledge and choice could sway the world back a bit.

I didn't see their video yet, did they not find or bring some dill weed to throw on that fish? Works every time
