Exactly. And you're not at all crazy, you're on the right path. "Hope for the best and prepare for the worst." My grandparents and parents went through the Depression, and taught me a lot about being prepared. My mother's people had a cellar full of food they had grown and put by, including a wall full of my grandfather's amazing homemade root beer. I have my grandmother's last Presto pressure cooker, it's probably in its 50th year and going strong. I love to can and preserve, and that helps. Also have a big freezer and a great food dehydrator so we have lovely dried fruits and berries, tomatoes...a smoker is the next thing. And today we got our new water purifier, it literally turns green bacteria-laden pond scum into sparkling clear water. We just drank wayyy too much homemade mead for May Day, so simple to make, with honey and lemon and ginger. I am a self-taught herbalist going on 50 years, and we can make or forage most remedies we need. Sickness invariably follows in the wake of famine (the Spanish Flu has been traced to a famine in India in the latter part of the 19th century) so people need to understand that, as well, and be prepared. Give up your material lifestyle of cell phones and Starbucks and meds and instant gratification and you'll do better in what's coming - and maybe even discover a level of tranquility, happiness and joy in living you never thought possible. All without a tour to Bali.
