Are relived , some well off souls kept pigs if they had ground or small holdings , as soon as my grandfather returned from WW 1 he bought a small holding with six acres , I milker and 1 beef cow three pigs 12 chucks , some ducks and two sheep , the veg patch was small but bountiful enough they got by everyone had to work the garden or allotments even both . These days there is NO excuse not to grow NONE
You can grow in buckets or any containers come to that ! But learn how to store food ! That’s equally inportant learn how to preserve and make jams , jellies and pickles it’s quite easy ! Especially when the snows down and your tucking in to last years sunshine in front of the glow of your wood stove ….theres nothing finer .
So buy Malt and whit destilled vinegar , sugar white and red wine vinegar best you do it now ! You will need it ! Very soon ….get it while you still can . Picking damsons this weekend they are ready and loads of them to nam jelly and wine , I’m glad I listened to MB …..i did not cut it down in fact I planted some more seedlings , they are doing just fine ! So come on you lot pull your fingers out and do something to survive that you can have control over .

the problem comes when all this stuff is used up and one cannot access/ buy more, if people need this stuff to survive then they will fail.
learning to live with just the basics and getting everything else from nature or growing it oneself is the only way to survive.
keep it simple.

BP that is why I emphasise that the stocks are to see you over a short period and longer term ease the fall into one where you can grow your own.

In the initial stages anyone growing food will be raided and it will be stolen. Keep your head down live on your stocks and when you run out you will be stronger than any remaining and growing food for a small group can be hidden easily enough.

Preps are not for the long term although TPTB seem to think that when they come out of their bunkers they will go back to normal.
