Excellent article. Thank you very much for sharing. I'm already doing a lot of this and when we move back out to the country this winter I plan on doing the rest.

One concept that will be of great interest also I think is the concept of "geurilla gardening" where you plant foodstuffs on vacant lots, or even on public lands. Who would even notice if there was a nice fat blackberry bramble growing along a roadside ditch? Plant stuff like this throughout your AO and along patrol routes to have nice convenient trail food as you go. And also a nice variety of produce to collect and preserve using these methods.

We've already been doing a lot of canning but with the recent addition of a pressure canner I expect our menu of canned foods to expand substantially.

When we move, I plan to add a dehydrator and by springtime to have a small smokehouse going.
