How lucky you are, sounds like you are in an ideal place.

Have you considered attaching a solar greenhouse to your home for year around food?

Both of mine are gone from age and I no longer can care for one, but during the years that war was around the corner, I kept goats and chickens. Figured that I could put them in one greenhouse to protect them.

One year when we were still building, we had to move a goat in the new room, great fun for a couple weeks, as the floor was still dirt, but you can live with them, they are clean and have nice habits.

After the babies were born, she wanted all the kids and Me to go to bed at the same time, no getting up in the middle of the night for any of us.

Store food now. In the late 70's there was a truck strike and there was no food for sale in Kingman, then we had less people and only one big Safeway.

But I do know what a store without food looks like. I think the manager was hauling pickup loads from Las Vegas and he would only sell one of anything to you.

I am alone and no longer drive, so only shop 2 or 3 times a year, so I will be able to survive.
