I’ve got an acre with a well, trout stream and backup generator.

I have a stand up full freezer that I’ve been adding to every time I go to the store.

My next investment will probably be pasta, rice, beans and various sauces that can be stored at room temperature.

And a solid investment in the ammo to protect it all.

If you want pasta sauce, look into tomato paste. It’s very concentrated so it will save a LOT of storage space.

Don’t forget salt and medical supplies.

“backup generator”

How do you power it? Solar or fuel?

Enough hungry and desperate people will eventually overwhelm your ammo.

Three weeks ago I moved to a rural small town in NW TN. Three acres, 100-year-old, 5600 sq. ft. farmer's "mansion" surrounded by pecan trees. I'm hiring several of the locals to help me get this place into shape, and making some friends along the way.

I thought I had some excellent preps, but the locals tell me I'm still an amateur.

I've been picking up a couple of extra canned goods every trip to the store for the past couple years.
Hunts had a 24oz can of pasta sauce in 4 or 5 different varieties that they'd been selling for forever for 98 cents at Walmart.
I saw the other day that the price has increased to $1.18-still not bad.
The sauce is edible and more importantly, it comes in a can. I've broken more than my share of jars and I'm done with that.
Overall, I don't think that we'll go hungry in the U.S., but we are sure as hell going to pay top dollar for marginal products for awhile.

Ammo is a good investment now. Prices are way down compared to 1-2 years ago.

Like precious metals, it will never be worth zero (unless you store it improperly).
