So much can happen and I hope we don’t have any issues. But like said above it could very well be in the cards. As far as food. I think going back to the days of our great grandparents and beyond on how they put up food for a family. Back in those days they didn’t have air cond. flushing toilets, nor washing machines. Things were done by hand and I am thinking we would have to go back to those days and learn what they did. We have a great deal of no. 10 freeze dried foods that we are going to mix in with our garden stuff that is canned. I am working on canning meats now (but took a break to catch up on other stuff.) Freezer is loaded and next week I hope to get back to getting it empty. Problem is how long will all this last if we have a failed garden like we did this year. We got some things. Mostly green beans, so that is where the freeze dried foods will come in. I don’t know of any other way to store food for the long term and those in towns with no land to garden will be in a heap of trouble.
I have read one second after. It is an eye opener. Great book. I think those that live in country and know how to homestead and have chickens, cows and whatever else on a farm for milk and making butter, having eggs, etc. will be better off than most. I am looking into buying some more freeze dried foods as I can find it on sale. That stuff is not cheap and unless there is another company going out of business like the one I found 6 yrs. ago, it won’t be cheap. We took advantage of those sales, but have not bought much since then.
