As soon as the weather clears a bit, starting a small green house out of junk lumber we have around that is suitable. We have a few acres ..... chickens will be here in the spring ..... learning how to can fruits/vegetables/meat. My folks grew up on a farm and dad has been telling me about the Great Depression days so I have an idea what is coming. Those that are self-reliant & can take care of themselves will survive .... those that depend on the government, will not.

My depression era parents’ attitudes are so instilled in me that it makes it hard to throw away things even when I should.

It will probably serve me well here pretty soon.

I’m with you - just got a few acres that we moved on to. Going to get the garden, greenhouse, chickens, etc, set up.
Hoard some commodities, build some “secondary storage”, whatever I have time for.
