Keeping the Essential Foods going

[Mortblanc]

Canning is great as long as you have a pressure cooker, bottles, lids, rings, and plenty of fuel.

If all that, or even one part of it, is absent canning is out of the question and one will have to revert to the methods used for thousands of years before canning was possible.

One must also realize how much land one needs for the wheat one would consume or a year. Maize produces better in a small plot, and potatoes are about the best small plot producer available in temperate climates.
