You guys are way ahead of the game. We live in what used to be country and now has become urban. They keep selling off farmland and building more houses, apts. and stores out here. Traffic is really bad now and getting worse. The schools can’t hold the amount of kids any longer. We have one acre of land that the house sits in the middle of. So our garden is a small one but produces really good for us so far. I have already built our food supply up to just over a year not counting the 100 or so cans of freeze dried foods that last 25 to 30 years. These are the things we are stocking for things we can’t get later when and if things go south. We have no chickens and not sure we can have them here. So in that freeze dried foods are eggs and milk. Also grain for bread. Though I have been oven canning a lot of flour as well. When I had cleaned the closets out of the buckets of food I put in mylar bags with O2 absorbers. I found a bucket of corn meal that I did back in 2015. It somehow got pushed to the back and now since it is corn meal though I am wondering if it will still be good to use. I haven’t tried it out yet as I am still going through things. Not sure how our neighbors are going to pull together as most of them have their heads in the sand. No one talks about being prepared around here. Though I think maybe a couple of neighbors here are. Kind of scary to think about how this neighborhood will react to all of this when it happens. I really need to start thinking about a privacy fence around our back yard as we live on a corner lot.
