Staples

[preservefreak]

The event has happened. Society has collapsed and you're all set in your retreats/BOLs. you have all your preps at hand and for now your location seems secure. People have gardens going and our own food storage to keep us going. You have access to meat from farming/breeding livestock or hunting. I wanted to ask people about long term staples. I think we're all storing rice, oats, flour and the like but at some point those supplies will run out.

I wanted to ask people about their plans for this situation. What are your plans for your long term food production for you and your clan? what are you going to fill your bellies with? what will give you the energy to go to work? Do you have grain seed put away? Will you grow oats, potatoes, micro-grains? We have some people here who have been prepping for a long time and are prepping for a collapse of society. If anyone has thoughts on this I'd love to hear them. I don't have an answer but I've been thinking about it for a few days now.

I think potatoes will be the most likely suspect, though I don't know how we'd build up a large supply of seed potato before our stores run out as it doesn't seem possible to store potato 'seed' for long periods of time. Perhaps quinoa & amaranth though I don't know how large scale the production can get in the UK. just something I've been mulling over lately.
