But you already have a massive advantage over the sheeple just by being here and interacting with others. And even small changes soon add up to put you in an even better position that give you that extra edge or over non-preppers.
Also as you have mentioned, knowledge is very important, and for example having knowledge of how to find/scavenge/forage/hunt food, is far more beneficial than having a ton of rice which you could lose overnight as a result of many different things....
So just keep doing what you are doing

Yes I've thought about it, but time rather than money is my biggest restraint, so it's not something that I would look to do at this time, as the preparation, dehydration and storage etc is too time consuming for 'me' at the moment. Also the MH FD tubs are just convenient and with a 25year shelf life they'd last until I'm way into my 60's, probably a lot longer.
But you are right and for the long term a dehydrator is the way to go.
