>>262199I've been noticing a sort of revival to some of these things you speak of. It might just be the internet exposing it and making it seem bigger than it actually is but don't think that's it.
We are at a point in time where if you want to learn how to do something the information is /out/ there. I think because of this it's making the entry of people into certain hobbies much easier than it had ever been. I knew absolutely nothing about trapping and had no one to show me. I spent months researching traps, placement, sets, baits, lures, fur care, fleshing, curing, tanning, etc. All of which I found readily available online once I sifted through all the misinformation.
