Default In addition to guns and ammo...

There is 100% agreement that we all need to have weapons to protect ourselves in the event of unrest or collapse, and that we need to stockpile food and water. But how many of you garden or raise lifestock?

My wife and I have gardened for a few years now. So far we have eaten our produce as it ripened and frozen tomatoes, peppers, shredded zucchini (for zucchini bread and muffins), as well as blueberries and strawberries. Yes I know the weak link is freezing and we recognize that fact and will ty our had at canning next year. We dry store onions and potatoes.

We are also looking at raising chickens and cattle for beef next year. We have a 10 acre field that is perfect for pasture.

So tell me what you do in this regard...
