    That’s because these people do not want to actually live this way. They are cosplayers. They want to buy $50 worth of freeze dried food and go to McDonald’s.

    Your grandmother learned to live like that because she had no choice. That’s what growing up in the Depression will do to you. No grandma would ever have freeze dried ice cream. Better learn how to milk a cow! Free milk, cream, and butter every day. But it’s not easy.

      Obviously if you don’t live somewhere where you can have a cow, freeze dried is required or else you’ll die in around 96 hours. That’s the average amount of time someone can survive without ice cream, which I’m sure you’re aware

      I plan on protecting my local library to preserve all knowledge that can help us stay alive and grow a healthy community.

        Yeah my goal will be to wipe out all knowledge so we can maybe do something different… we are already at odds friend

          There’s a lot of knowledge about raising farm animals, agriculture, fishing, foraging and how to process those things not only into foods but medicine as well. That stuff is vital.
