All those “when the shit hits the fan, it’s gonna be real people with real skills who end up on top” civilizational collapse fantasies need to grapple with the fact that at this point, it is exclusively rich people who know how to use and maintain sailboats and horses

Lols, naw, it’s the servants of the rich who know how to use and especially maintain and build/breed more sailboats and horses.

Seriously, you don’t know what you are talking about irt yachting/sailing or horses. The rich don’t know how to tack a horse or a sailboat, they have people for that.

I mean, that was kind of a shitpost, but you don’t get an Ivy League degree without learning a bit about the life experience of people from boarding school money, and those were the boys who took dinghies “out on the harbor” on weekends, and girls that at least knew how to groom a horse, while I’m not sure the average prepper fantasist even realizes you’re supposed to.
