Wow, well here in Oregon I just paid 3.26 for gas and went to the grocery store for fruit and veggies. I bought 2 good sized organic tomatoes and at the register they(2) came up as $11.25 I returned them, too much!
Time to get my own garden plot working again.
peace,

One should have a good feel for his local surroundings because when it comes down to it you may have to be the hunter/gatherer for your family.
Lots of edible mushrooms in just about every region so its important to do your research for those plants you may have to rely on. Squirrels are edible but I really hope it don't come down to that ah?

by golly you are right. coming over from another thread where OP discovered Quantum mechanics aplied to thought and how changing the past changes the future......Change not from anybodies pocket to mine....Lets mentaly change the heat back to heat, melt the frost and grow new crops......organic = grown with horse crap not nitrogen which is what horse crap is....yet you can eat nitrogen out of the bag...it will only burn but it isnt poison. Feed urea is 50% nitrogen they feed it to cattle where temps fet below freezing to keep the cattle warm.....think about that the next time you have to buy ORGANIC...........no pestisides different label all togeather
You mean capturing wild yeast from the air? I made some home-brew with wild yeast I caught, didn't turn out to good lol. Can bread really be made with wild yeast? I guess I don't see why it couldn't, all you need is the Co2 from the yeast farts. I'm really curious how this would turn out, maybe it's time for an experiment.

I have read many survival blogs that suggest the supplies you mention...but my question is..

...was shocked at how tasteless and crappy the bread tasted to me. I ended up picking at the cheese and meat on the sandwich and tossed the slices of bread in the trash. The caterer uses "Wonderbread" for their sandwiches....
Dude, you live in Oregon... You should be able to easily cram a good sized deep freeze with venison, elk...
