No one can have what they alone need for all the different scenarios that are possible. It’s romantic to think that you can survive off the land, hunting deer, fishing out trout, growing a garden. But everybody and their mother will be doing the same. Deer and fish will become extinct, and your garden won’t make it to harvest. Prepare, but pray it never comes to that.
Bingo! And you had better be ready to guard your garden 24/7.
It might come down to being prepared to eat your next door neighbors cat - as long as he’s OK with eating your dog!
Literally.
