"I’ve started gardening multiple plots around my yard. It makes it hard to steal a serious amount of food without spending a lot of time wandering around in the dark. "

So....what do you plan to do when the local sheriff(cops) show up saying that they've been ordered by FEMA to confiscate your 'excess' food for re-distribution from the FEMA food centers, (ahem)up-town?

And...if you're the sheriff and your family is unprepared, wouldn't you lie and go to Cripplecreek's house too?

When do you say no to the sheriff and what action are you prepared to take?

You're close to a do/die moment already and the 'conflict/emergency' is just three days old.....

I'm considering making small emergency 'stashes' of food in 6" PVC tubes and burying them underground, here and there. (When the crooked sheriff walks off with all my food I'll still have something left. Eh?

Guerrilla farming. I've already done some experimentation with planting root crops in random scattered spots in the woods. I harvested parsnips from the woods as soon as the ground thawed this spring.

We don't have local cops any more so it would be a stranger coming into town and facing off with angry locals.
