Gotta have some salt, too. I looked into curing meat, venison for example, but you need a shit ton of salt for that. And a certain type of salt.
I don't have the land for seeds and all that.
Definitely not worth it in my mind, it's always good to have some things on hand to get through some hard times, but as with all things there's a limit because you just don't know what the future holds.
Companies profit off fear, so it's good to not let fear get the best of you.
At our house we have 20 pounds of rice and about the same in beans along with a running basic 2 week pantry at all times, but I'm not doing more than that... anything that goes longer than that amount of time in my opinion can only be figured out in the moment. People survived the great depression they'll figure out how to survive whatever comes next.
I've always seen it as how to get through an initial phase and then see what workarounds need worked or if the bad will even affect you.
I mean, if it's a new Nazi Germany we are walking into, we'll see gas chambers before the end of 20 pounds of rice... lol.
It's Baking Season!
