I know. Too many people are survivalists, too few homesteaders.
I love lard, almost as much as butter. Course lard will store for a good amount of time, and as you said you can make your own if need be.
Also found a hand operated oil press and grow various oilseeds. Worse comes to worse I can grow my oil.
I spent a lot of time and effort learning some very fundamental skills that most folks don't even think about.
And then I lived it for over a year in the mountains, off grid, remote from everything.
