The key that I’ve learned over the years to minimize interruption and inconvenience is to diversify, i.e. don’t rely on just one energy source (i.e. all electric - we use butane for cooking and wood for most of our heat), keep a well stocked pantry, be prepared for extended outages, have a sufficient stock of ammunition, and keep a few gallons of gasoline or diesel in stock in case of emergency (but you will need to rotate and use it periodically to prevent it from ruining).<<<
Excellent advice, very wise.
I am glad you will have a large garden, and am praying that folks all have a bumper crop.
During WW2, we had many Victory gardens, people planted food and not grass.
I do not do lawns, not when the same amount of effort will give me either food or beautiful flowers.
You are correct, I may have more flour and beans in my freezer, than anything else, as frozen food will be the first to spoil.
Good, that you are able to save your own seeds, so few even have an idea of how to do it.
By the bye, please add me to your ping-list, also... ;~)
