water, rice and beans.... to prep. You dont need to have a self sustained farm to live thru a SHTF situation.
Short term, I agree.
Long term, no I disagree.
I prepare for both, short and long term.
Short term situations (not necessarily SHTF, just a situation where you need to be self-sufficient for a little while) happen all the time. Flooding, wind storms, even something as simple as a foot or two of snow (I've got a couple of inches, and it is nice to know that if the power went out due to a snow laden branch falling on a power line, I have ways to keep warm and cook food without power).
Long term, climate change is happening, despite sheeple denying it. Long term population growth is taking us to a time and place where food, water, arable land and energy will be too expensive and scarce for many people to survive - especially if they live in a dense population center.
That is why I am indeed going to buy land where I and my family can be more self-sufficient than we are now. It won't be easy, and it won't happen overnight, but I am working on it.
