You bring up what I always talk about to others about prepping in terms of farming and gardening-it isn’t easy. For one: There is a massive learning curve. For two: growing some tomatoes and a tub of taters won’t cut it. Even an acre of tomatoes and greens won’t cut it in terms of calorie crops. For three: soil health, crop rotation, compost, crop staggering, etc.
Not to mention, even the most experienced growers have catastrophic crop failures when they do ‘everything right’.
So to get back to what you are saying about the 3 month prep thing-if someone is prepping for a storm or power outage or minor social upset then I get that arbitrary number of 3 months.
If a person is prepping for long term social breakdown and/or catastrophic war then I think in terms of prepping you are looking to changing your lifestyle completely to focus on a measure of self sufficiency or community sufficiency that exists outside of the normal social single family unit structure as we know it now. Otherwise, good luck.
