especially in the winter. You'll find that you REALLY want to have cached food, gill nets, traps and snares for shtf. . Hunting just does NOT suffice. Especially not small game and birds. Having 40 "sets", spread out like 4 leaf clover, and MOVE your area of operations once a month, then you MIGHT get enough to eat. If shtf, moving around in daylight will be very likely to get you shot. So have NVD goggles, solar charger, and service your lines at night.
you;'ve got to have properly prepped, buried drums, even if you DO succeed at taking a cow, horse, llama, goats, deer, elk, moose, bison, etc. YOu've got to have protection for your jerky and your grain, out of reach of moisture, rodents, dogs and cats, and insects. The drums have to have a 'french drain' of 3-4" of gravel around and under them. Metal drums corrode swiftly, even if wrapped in plastic drum liners, with vermiculite present to absorb moisture inside of the liner. Plastic drums are cheaper, harder to find with a metal detector, dont corrode, but have to have a double "wrap" of ratwire around them, to keep rodents from gnawing holes in them, This and dogs digging at them(revealing the drum to humans) is a LOT less likely when there's no food stored in the drums. Of course, not having food in the drums removes the issue of food going bad, as well as the cost of the stored food. If you can't even afford the cost of half a dozen drums, just suicide when shtf, and save yourself days/weeks of agony.
