Hopefully a positive outcome of the COVID-19 situation is that people begin to realize that supply chain disruption is a real phenomenon, and that it can happen for a multitude of reasons. Being prepared is not paranoia. We can’t all have a homestead, but, for a few hundred dollars, we can have several tubs of shelf-stable foods and the means of producing clean water. It doesn’t necessarily mean being prepared for years of living in a bunker. One to three months worth of food for your family can either wholly supply or supplement the food available to you.
