Yep, water and canned food works better than gardens. Gardens are OK to supplement, but canned food is where it's at...Last for years if stored right too.

Ummmmm, now where do those things in the can come from?

From your garden....

BTW, ya left out one tiny piece of my post when ya quoted me:

Canned food is what feeds armies.

Water and canned food, (not gardens) can and do keep armies going for *years*.

It's "MRE's" not gardens...

LOL, cans were in all those C Rations I ate... Nothing like a really cold day and a can of beef stew - chunks of congealed fat the size of strawberries - ooooh how they protected your teeth with their slick film that lasted all day... And those 20 year old ‘crackers’ (or whatever they were) - Mmmmmm

Actually in the field we tried to get some hot freshly cooked meals whenever we were in base camp.

With MRE’s, should that be pouches???

But, really, hunkering down with 3600 calories a day MRE’s might pack on a few pounds... LOL

True. But I challenge anyone here to go out on a 20-mile march while carrying a garden!
