Quote from: Nearings Fault on Jan 26, 2024, 11:33 AMI still subscribe to the idea of a deep pantry and storing some basics that I use in bulk. I don't food prep much anymore just a large supply of what I actually use. I am surrounded by food though in a highly unpopulated area. Feed corn is in full silos, in season it is in fields growing, we are outnumbered at least 2 to one in cows, most people have chickens, many goats most have gardens. I have a history of paying for food in cash or in trade with a select group of close by people. I think when it comes down to it it's about community. If you have a relationship of trade you have more chance of someone trading with you in times of intense stress. I stockpile equipment and skills these days. As to the starving zombies I don't know if they would even show up here. I could totally see people without food showing up at government feeding stations and abandoning the land if they were promised food. Sort of a withdrawal to where services are still available as the circle contracts. What kinds of scenarios do you see on our horizon that see such a lightning fast degradation?
Cheers, NF

I see no lightning fast degradation, I just like the security, the just in case, that is all. You could say the oscillating, irregular weather and how it effects our food supply is my prime concern.
