From the looks of things today, it won't be long before we go back to the old ways of doing things .
Canning , digging pits to keep root crops over winter , many things to preserve food for a longer period of time .
Just wonder how many here water glass eggs .
The process in using dehydrated lime and water , covering unwashed eggs not store bought .
I wonder just how bad it's going to get , it's looking like a greater depression than in the 1930's
Because people back then depended on themselves, period .
We have met the enemy and the enemy is us!

On top of canning this year we are planning to use the air fryer to dehydrate potatoes, eggs and fruits.

I shudder to think of those that can't provide at least some of there owe food. Either because they live in apartments or have zero knowledge of basic gardening. We could if needed do everything but citrus, milk and grains for flour. Have sheep, pigs, goats (not dairy) chickens and a couple cows. Putting in a bigger garden and planning on canning and freezing a bunch. Complete solar set up so electric costs are minimal but do heat with propane tho. If it gets that bad those people in the apartments wont stay there...they will start showing up in the rural areas getting food by whatever means necessary.

Hmmm, we are getting more phone/email inquiries than even during the Trump years. Everyone we talk to says the US economy is booming ?? It is humming right along, but how hard is it going to crash is the question on everyone's mind.

I'm wary (and weary) of the "sky is falling" I'm hearing on here all the time. It ain't that bad kids!
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

They’ll be safer staying where they are and eating od victims.

go looking for lids now stores are just putting out their canning supplies I got 6 dozen ball Sunday at farm and fleet 3.99 a dozen but at least they had them seen nothing but china lids in a year
I contemplated just buying jars at 11.99 a dozen
also planted raspberries and black berries this year as well as some fresh rhubarb starts and asparagus to add to the perennial garden crops
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I'm wary (and weary) of the "sky is falling" I'm hearing on here all the time. It ain't that bad kids! I hope and pray you are right. However its just a wonder there was any life boats at all on the Titanic, after all it was unsinkable.
