Not sure what this prepping is all about. In Wisconsin everyone has a gun and sights a deer in their yard every week. Wisconsin can revert back to agrarian at any time. We still have meat packers and dairys. We have farms and huge gardens. We can can and jar and jerky. We can easily live off the land and feed everyone in Wisconsin. People in Madison and Milwaukee may suffer some. But the rest of the state will barely notice. Everyone has a deer or a half side of beef in their basement.

One thing I always see missing on these threads are chickens.
Just a couple will provide a few eggs a week most of the year. Having fresh eggs (which need no refrigeration) added to your diet would be a great thing in tough times. Chickens can forage on their on and eat most human food scraps. Eggs would be good to barter with. Can always just eat the chicken if needed. Two chickens particularly a smaller breed could even be included in a “bug out kit”. If you are trying to be somewhere unnoticed then no roster, but if that is not an issue, then they are not that hard to raise, one hen sitting on a half dozen eggs, even if only 2 or 3 hatch gets you ahead of the game
