Bringing Balance to Prepping Plans

When someone not in the prepping community hears the word prepper, or survivalist, they may think of someone in a bunker armed to the teeth with militant leanings. I know this because I have been asked to my face, "Your a survivalist, so you blow up buildings like Timothy McVeigh." The person was not asking a question, they were making a statement.

The mentality that preppers / survivalist are militant is affirmed by so many "preppers" on YouTube making nothing but gun videos. It would seem prepping revolves around nothing but firearms.

Then there is the old saying, "Beans, bullets and band-aids", which sums up a lot of peoples prepping plans.

Another saying is, "Buy cheap and stack deep." Which implies prepping is nothing more than stockpiling.

Where are the sayings (and examples) for gardening, fishing, family time, and studying history?
