I’m not quite into survivalist mode..... yet.
But that book really got me to thinking.
Mr. mm and I could be pretty self-sufficient and manage pretty well if we had to. It really helps to have domestic skills like sewing and canning and gardening.
Matter of fact, I’ve been planning my landscaping around plants which serve double duty by making good foliage plants which produce food as well. Living out in the sticks helps. This is farm country... and smells like if under the right weather conditions. Not quite the country fresh type of air I was anticipating.
I have been buying and extra case of food every week- corn one week, peas the next- dried rice, beans, etc
When you count up the number of people in your family and multiply that by two meals per day... it does not look like a lot and makes me wonder how long I might have to stock up for.
